Scientific Program
  1. There will be 19 invited lectures.
  2. Contributions, which will be presented as posters, will cover the fields of:
    • High resolution rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopy of molecules (radicals, ions, complexes, clusters, ...).
    • Molecular dynamics.
    • Theory assisting the prediction, simulation, and interpretation of spectra
    • New techniques for high-resolution spectroscopy
    • Applications to atmospheric sciences, astrophysics, planetology, combustion, gas-phase biomolecules, metrology and fundamental physics, cold molecules
  3. A Plenary session will be dedicated to two mini-symposia about "Exoplanets" and "Cold molecules", respectively.

Accommodations:
Single and double rooms will be available in the "Hotel dei Congressi" as well as in other hotels at short distance from the conference site. Cheaper rooms, (three-bed and four-bed rooms), will be available in the "Hotel dei Congressi". Participants should make the reservations themselves. To this purpose, more details and the list of the hotels will be given in the 2nd circular.
"Hotel dei Congressi" will offer rooms at the same conference special price in the week preceding the conference, too. Lunch meals will be available at "Hotel dei Congressi". During the conference there will be an excursion combined with a reception, for attendees, and several excursions for accompanying persons.

Fees:
We estimate conference fees to be 290 EUROS, with a reduction for students (160 EUROS). This price includes congress participation, colloquium proceedings, excursion and banquet for participants only. More precise information (including prices for accompanying persons) will be given in the second circular. These fees will be higher in case of payment after June 1st, 2009. The conference will try to raise funds to cover all or part of the local expenses (conference fees, accommodations, and meals) for a very limited number of participants from "less favoured" countries. Prospective participants, whose participation is dependent on this type of support, are requested to indicate this on their preregistration form. The final application for support must be made on the registration form, and instructions will be given in the second circular.

Amat-Mills Prize:
As in previous colloquia, a prize will be awarded to the best student poster. Instructions for application will be given in the second circular.

Pre-registration:
You should preregister by sending an e-mail to the address info.hrms09(at)inoa.it, stating you intend to take part to the conference and/or request the second circular. Deadline is extended to February, 5th 2009.
