Chemical
Thermodynamics
30 July–4 August 2006, Boulder, Colorado, USA
For the first time, the following three conferences will be
held simultaneously in a one-time event being called THERMO
International 2006: the 19th IUPAC International Conference
on Chemical Thermodynamics, the 61st Calorimetry Conference,
and the 16th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties.
The 19th IUPAC International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics
(19-ICCT) will be held in Boulder, Colorado, in the United
States, from 30 July to 4 August 2006. This conference is
being organized by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder. The
International Conferences on Chemical Thermodynamics are traditionally
held every 2 years and rotate between North America, Europe,
and Asia; the 18th conference was held in Beijing, China,
in August 2004. The upcoming conference will be held under
the auspices of IUPAC and the International Association of
Chemical Thermodynamics (IACT).
The program will include major award lectures, plenary lectures,
invited lectures, oral presentations, poster papers, database
and software demonstrations, and scientific exhibitions. Among
the highlights of the program are the Rossini Lecture, the
highest award of the ICCT, as well as the IACT Doctorate Awards.
The recipient of the 2006 Rossini Lectureship Award is Professor
Alexandra Navrotsky of the University of California at Davis,
USA (see Wire section, p. 18).
The Joint Scientific Program of the 19th International Conference
on Chemical Thermodynamics and the 61st Calorimetry Conference
will include the following Symposia and Workshops (an asterisk
indicates that the symposium is jointly organized with the
16th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties):
Symposia
•
Thermochemistry and Molecular Energetics
• New Materials
• Electrolyte and Non-Electrolyte Solutions Thermodynamics
• Phase Equilibrium, Supercritical Fluids, and Separation
Technologies
• Colloid and Interface Science
• Thermodynamics and Properties in the Biological,
Medical, Pharmaceutical, Agricultural, and Food Sectors*
• Molecular Modeling including Simulation*
• Ionic Liquids*
• Databases, Data Systems, Software Applications, and
Correlations* (in memory of Dr. Randolph Wilhoit)
Workshops
•
Thermodynamic Frontiers and Education
• New Experimental Techniques
• Properties and Processes for a Hydrogen-Based Economy
This
unique event will provide opportunities for researchers and
practitioners worldwide to meet and discuss a broad spectrum
of scientific problems in the fields of thermodynamics and
thermophysical properties for a wide variety of systems and
to discuss applications in chemistry, biology, chemical engineering,
mechanical engineering, physics, and other areas of science
and engineering. Perhaps more important than the distinctions
between the institutional labels applied to the disciplines
is the continuum of activities involved, from fundamental
science, to more empirical engineering approaches to thermodynamics
and thermophysical properties, to the field practices where
needs may be specific and immediate.
