Satellite meeting for the 18th International Congress on Quantum Chemistry (ICQC) in Berkeley, CA
Dates: June 6-10, 2026
The Advances in Electronic Structure Theory and Dynamics satellite meeting will take place at the University of California, Merced, from June 6–10, 2026. This focused meeting will bring together leading researchers for in-depth discussion of emerging directions in electronic structure theory and chemical dynamics, including relativistic theory, nonadiabatic and electron dynamics, excited states, strong correlation, and periodic and extended systems. The program will feature invited lectures along with a poster session and selected contributed talks to broaden participation and discussion. Shuttle transportation will be arranged from Berkeley to Merced following ICQC and back to the Bay Area at the conclusion of the meeting to facilitate travel to major airports. On-campus and nearby lodging options will be available for participants, and a day trip to Yosemite National Park will be organized during the meeting.
Organizers:
Hrant Hratchian, Christine Isborn, Henrik Larsson, Aurora Pribram-Jones, Liang Shi, and David Strubbe (UC Merced)
Gustavo Scuseria and James Shee (Rice)
