The topics of the symposium will cover both the fundamental and methodological as well as computational aspects of molecular informatics, modelling and simulation, as well as a wide selection of applications, ranging from small molecules to nanomatrerials, large biomolecules, medicinal chemistry, and models of molecular evolution. At the present time the funding is very limited and all participants are encouraged to secure funds for their own expenses. Please note that there is no registration fee for invited speakers.

Besides the scientific program, one will be able to enjoy the unique culture and cuisine of Newfoundland, and there will be tours to see both icebergs and whales, best seen at that time of the year. As St. John's is the North American city nearest to Europe, it is located right on the Atlantic Ocean, and one will be able to witness spectacular views of the Ocean, many lakes, the oldest known rock formations of the planet Earth, exceptional bird populations, and much perfect, unspoiled Nature.

If participants so decide, they will be given the chance to become an Honorary Newfoundlander, a distinction that requires the completion of a unique and unforgettable ceremony.
