The conference will begin on the evening of Wednesday 5th January with two tutorial lectures aimed particularly, but by no means exclusively, at graduate students. On Thursday and Friday the meeting will involve the traditional mix of invited lectures together with both oral and poster contributions. We would like to encourage all participants - especially graduate students and postdocs - to submit titles for presentations (particularly the 20 minute oral contributions). We will do our best to accommodate as many contributions into the conference programme as possible.

A more detailed timetable will be available in due course. The deadline for registration is Friday 26th November

PCCP will be sponsoring a poster prize for postgraduate students and the RSC has provided a travel grant which will be used to provide bursaries for postgraduate students.

Please note that the meeting will finish at 3 pm on Friday 7th. This is slightly earlier than in previous years due to the greater distance that some participants will have to travel in order to return home.
