The 21st East Asian Workshop

on Chemical Dynamics

Kyoto
18-21 December 2017

Discussion on experimental & theoretical chemical dynamics

Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 Oct. 2017

Program updated: 18 Nov. 2017

The Workshop

Three Days of Powerful Talks

The 21st East Asian Workshop on Chemical Dynamics (EAWCD) will be held on December 18 to 21 in Kyoto. "Chemical Dynamics", a branch of physical chemistry, explores chemical reactions and related phenomena at the atomic and molecular levels, and has been growing through a variety of experimental and theoretical methodologies. To grasp recent advances in chemical dynamics studies and discuss the future of this interesting research field, we will have 24 oral speakers in this workshop.
