Dear Pr. xxx,

We are currently thinking to organise a CECAM workshop in Paris during Spring 2021. As you probably know, the main goal of CECAM is to provide space and time for researchers to discuss and exchange ideas with colleagues. Thus, our main idea is to create a forum between experimentalists and theoreticians, during 3-4 days, on a few selected topics. Here are some examples of topics we have currently in mind (it can modified/extended): - Reactivities under Oriented Electric Field ; - Unusual Structures and Bondings (that could include charge-shift bonds, inverted bonds, and/or bonding in excited states) ; - Enzymatic and Biomimetic Investigations We would really appreciate if you were able to join our little team by becoming a member of the Advisory Committee. Your role will be -1- to select the topics of interest -2- to propose names for plenary lectures -3- to select the oral presentations among the submitted abstracts. We are currently building a wiki-style web site to render this process straightforward and minimize burden on your side.

With best regards, Sason Shaik, Etienne Derat and Benoît Braïda
