CONFERENCE TENTATIVE TIMETABLE (see table below)
The conference will be articulated as follows:
10 regular sessions (three per day, except the last one, complemented by a poster session) devoted to Computational and Theoretical Chemistry topics chosen by the Scientific Committee (the local Organizing Committee and the Board of the CTC Division chaired by P. Szalay). Each regular session will host one keynote lecture (40’), two contributed oral presentations (20’ each) and some Research Telegrams from young researchers and students (10’ each) selected by the Scientific Committee.
5 parallel sessions of 10’ oral presentations by TCCM (Theoretical Chemistry and Computational modelling) students on Monday (all day) and Tuesday (morning) to follow the keynote talks.
1 training parallel event (open also to TCCM students) on the use of both the EChemTest® e-tests in a cloud environment for assessing chemistry competences and the GLOREP distributed repository of Learning Objects.

TRAVEL
There are direct flights connecting the small Perugia airport “San Francesco” (http://www.airport.umbria.it/en/) to London Stansted, Brussels and Frankfurt. The best option, however, is to fly to Fiumicino and take from the Rome stations (Termini or Tiburtina) a train to Perugia (http://www.trenitalia.com/tcom-en). There are also regular bus connections Fiumicino-Perugia (http://www.sulga.eu/libreria/fiumicinoroma.pdf).
