1. 8th Molecular Quantum Mechanics
It is with pleasure I invite you to attend the 8th Molecular Quantum Mechanics, June 26-July 1 2016 in Uppsala, Sweden. We hope that you will find the city of Uppsala and Uppsala University, founded in 1477, a worthy host of the symposium. The MQM 2016 will find inspiration from the academic excellence of Uppsala, as exemplified by local scientific giants as Carl von Linnaeus, Anders Celsius, and more recently the chemistry Nobel laureates The Svedberg and Arne Tiselius. The vicinity to Stockholm, closeness to Sweden's largest airport (Arlanda), the splendid nature of Uppland, with its soothing archipelago, and the inspirational Swedish summer we hope will be further reasons for you to come and visit us in June 2016.

2. International Symposium and Workshop on Astrochemistry - ISWA
Understanding the extraterrestrial molecular complexity
through experiments, observations and models
July 3-8, 2016 - Campinas, SP - Brazil
Deadline for abstract submission is coming! (March, 15th)
Especial prices fro Brazilians.
Registration and abstract submission are open.

This is the forth announcement of the "INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM AND
WORKSHOP ON ASTROCHEMISTRY - ISWA: Understanding the extraterrestrial
molecular complexity through experiments, observations and models".
The main goal of this event is to promote discussion and collaboration
among experimentalists, observers and theoreticians interested to
contribute to the progress of astrochemistry.
The scientific topics of this meeting are:
- Astrophysical ices - Spectroscopy, Energetic Processing (UV,
X-rays, Electrons, Ions)
- Formation of complex species in ices - Astrobiology
- Surface Chemistry, Thermal programed desorption
- Gas phase experiments on astrochemistry
- Detection of molecules in astrophysical environments (radio, infrared)
- Astrochemical models, abundances, chemical evolution.
Oppening talk: A.G.G. M. Tielens (The Molecular Universe)
Preliminary program already available at http://www1.univap.br/gaa/iswa

During the symposium, we will also have two hands-on workshops: one
focused on experimental astrochemistry and other focused on astronomical
observations. The hands-on workshops will have activities on the
proposal submissions to the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory
(LNLS), data reduction and to the Large Latin American Millimeter Array
(LLAMA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) radio
observatories. During this meeting we will also have the opportunity to
follow a real astrochemical experiment (in real time) at one of the
beamlines of the LNLS. The experiment will simulate the interaction
between UV and soft X-rays with astrophysical ice analogs.
Important dates:
Registration: From January 1st to May 15th, 2016
Abstract submission: From January 1st to March 15th, 2016
Abstract submission deadline: March 15th, 2016.
Hotel reservation deadline: May 15th, 2016.
Registration deadline: May 15th, 2016.
Cancellation deadline (registration and hotel): May 20th, 2016 (fee applies).
The Symposium will be held at the Historic Farm-Hotel "Solar das
Andorinhas" located in Campinas, SP, Brazil (near the Brazilian Synchrotron lab).
The participants of the meeting will have a thematic conference dinner with
a typical Brazilian winter party called "Festa Julina" with includes bonfire and
typical drinks and foods.
We are looking forward to an exciting meeting and hope to welcome you in
Brazil next year in the beginning of July.
