ACIT: Purposes and goals
Révision datée du 27 septembre 2018 à 11:10 par Benoit (discussion | contributions)
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, rationalise and organize 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
