Chaired by K Wüthrich (Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, 2002) and co-chaired by B Weckhuysen, this by-invitation-only conference has gathered 39 participants who are leaders in the field of computational modeling and its applications in Chemistry, Material Sciences and Biology. Highlights of the Conference Proceedings are short, prepared statements by all the participants and the records of lively discussions on the current and future perspectives in the field of computational modeling, from chemistry to materials to biology.
