Solvay Workshop - Conceptual Quantum Chemistry: Present Aspects and Challenges for the Future
Brussels, 4 - 8 April 2016

***Following the tragic events that took place in Brussels on March 22, the University of Brussels where the workshop takes place have resumed its activities. We also anticipate that travelling to and within Brussels will be back to normal by the time of the workshop.
For this reason, the workshop is maintained as scheduled. We will keep you informed if new developments take place.
We look forward to seeing you soon to discuss fascinating science! The organizers.
