Participation

The conference will take place on 19-21 of August 2019 at the Konventum conference center in Helsingør (Elsinore), and it is open for everyone eager to honour Prof. Dr. Scient. Kurt V. Mikkelsen.

Scope

The title of the conference Grand Challenges for Theoretical Chemistry can mean different things. It can mean the scientific problems, even societal challenges, we should be able to tackle with theoretical and computational chemistry, but it can also mean the methodological challenges we are facing for example with respect to accuracy and system size in our computational chemistry methods. We hope that the title is embraced when suggesting a title for a presentation or a poster.
