Proceedings of US-Latin American Workshop on Molecular and Materials Sciences: Theoretical and Computational Aspects Held in Gainesville, Florida on 10-12 March 1993
Abstract
This workshop has been made possible by the financial support of the US National Science Foundation, International Programs Division, and by the Office of Naval Research, Physics Division. The early support by the ONR was essential in the beginning stages of the workshop organization; the NSF was very helpful speeding up their reviewing procedure to provide support on a tight schedule. The University of Florida, through its Departments of Chemistry and of Physics, and its Quantum Theory Project, provided help with its staff and with funds at critical times. The workshop attendants from Latin American countries helped this gathering in a very important way, by requesting and obtaining matching funds at their home institutions to travel to the USA. The program of the workshop evolved in response to suggestions from its participants. To begin with, it was decided to organize a short course on molecular and materials sciences based mostly on lectures by the Faculty of the Quantum Theory Project and other US institutions, and to request suggestions on its content from Latin American scientists associated to the University of Florida in past years activities. These suggestions indicated a wish for additional contributions by participants in an informal conference format. The present programs combines the two aims, with a series of half hour overviews followed by long discussions with the participation of the attendants, and with half hour presentations by the attendants on subjects of their disciplines.
