MERCURY CONFERENCE ON
COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

August 1-3, 2010

We are pleased to announce the ninth national conference devoted solely to undergraduates who are working on research projects in computational chemistry, to be held at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, from Sunday August 1 - Tuesday August 3, 2010. This conference is a great opportunity for undergraduates to learn about the breadth of research in computational chemistry, particularly in interdisciplinary topics, and to discuss their work with other undergraduate computational chemists as well as some leaders in the field. For faculty, this conference will be an opportunity to generate a network of computational chemists who work with undergraduates, fostering collaboration and developing a sense of community in the field.

The talks will be split between Monday and Tuesday, with undergraduate poster sessions taking place on one or both days.

Registration is $225 per faculty member, $120 per faculty guest, and $115 per undergraduate, and includes:

Costs for the conference are being kept low due to generous financial assistance from Hamilton College and SGI.

Registration materials are due by July 21st, and the deadline for poster abstract submission is July 21st.

Undergraduates are strongly encouraged to submit posters.

This conference is organized by the MERCURY high performance computer center (Molecular Educational Research Consortium in Undergraduate computational chemistRY), a consortium created by multiple undergraduate institutions with additional funding from NSF. One of the aims of our consortium is to increase the visibility of faculty working at predominantly undergraduate institutions with undergraduates. We look forward to seeing you and your students at the Conference!
