What do we want to ultimately achieve (in the medium/long run) ?


1. INCREASE INSIGHT INTO CHEMISTRY:

We want to help experimentalists and computational chemists to interpret the results of their (computer) experiments.


2. CLARITY OF AVAILABLE CONCEPTS AND TOOLS:

by helping the method/model developers to collectively:

  • clarify the terminology used
  • precise what each method/model can and cannot do
  • establishing bridges between different angles of insight, coming from different classes of methods


3. NEW DEVELOPMENTS OF USEFUL CONCEPT AND TOOLS:

by promoting the interaction and collective work within, and between sub-communities of theoreticians and experimentalists.


4. DIFFUSION OF CONCEPTUAL TOOLS AND MODELS IN THE CHEMICAL COMMUNITY:

by helping chemists understand:

  • what each tool can/cannot do
  • the common ground, but also differences in viewpoints and capabilities between related tools/models
  • the terminology used by different methods.


5. DIFFUSION OF CORE CONCEPT IN CHEMISTRY

at three different levels:

  • in the university
  • in high school
  • in the general public
