==Introduction==

Nowadays conferences become more and more specialized and thus more difficult to follow by non-specialists. The first objective of the conference is to provide a frame that will raise the interest of young people for modern, state of the art, developments of theoretical and computational chemistry. 
Of course, a second objective is to present talks presenting various aspects of the field in order to stimulate interdisciplinary exchanges. 

Indeed, theoretical chemistry, in spite of its relatively low financial investment requirement, becomes more and more important having numerous applications in research and industry to model complex systems ranging from materials to biological systems of pharmacological interest.  This is in part due to the amazing development of computers in the last decades, that continue to develop towards powerful peta- and exascale architectures but also to important ideas grounded on new physics and mathematics that emerged in the field, and make possible to obtain predictive theoretical results with accuracy that compete with experimental measurements.

==Organization of the meeting==
The conference is divided in half-day sessions. Each session deals with a different topic of theoretical chemistry and is organized by a recognized scientist on the field. Each of these session chairs form the scientific committee, and they are in charge of inviting the relevant speakers in their session.

However, participation from all over the world is wellcome to promote scientific exchange. With this aim in mind, poster sessions will be arranged twice a day.
