Ultrafast Chemical Physics research meetings
The International Workshop on Ultrafast Chemical Physics (UCP ’11) has been held at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow on 14-16 December 2011. The two-day workshop (final programme here) aimed to encompass the current state of the art in ultrafast chemical physics & physical chemistry and to include invited seminars and contributions from leading international researchers.
The International Workshop on Ultrafast Chemical Physics (UCP ’08) has been held at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow on Oct 30-31st 2008. The meeting coincided with the occasion of the award to Prof. Robin Hochstrasser of a Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
