Exciting Science

Q-Chem Workshop (Free)

The 2024 Fall Q-Chem User Workshop will be happening in person on the morning of October 13th from 9AM to 1PM at the conference venue, before the beginning of the ISTCP conference. This free workshop will provide an introduction to several basic features within the Q-Chem software package, and will include several hands-on exercises using IQmol, Q-Chem's free molecule visualizer and job server. A tea break will be provided.

Unique Location

Combining fresh sea air and dashing good looks, Qingdao, the name means 'Green Island', is a rare modern city that has managed to preserve some of its past while angling a dazzling modern face to the future. Its blend of concession-era and modern architecture puts China's standard white-tile and blue-glass developments to shame. The winding cobbled streets, colonial German architecture and red-capped hillside villas are captivating and there's so much to enjoy in the city's diverse food scene, headlined by the ubiquitous home town beer Tsingtao. Meanwhile, the seaside aspect keeps the town cooler than the inland swelter zones during summer, and slightly warmer in winter.
