International Conference on Molecular Energy Transfer in Complex Systems

Welcome to the next edition of the International Conference on Molecular Energy Transfer in Complex Systems (iCOMET) to be held at Jaipur, India.

First established in 1971 in Cambridge, UK, the scope of the iCOMET meetings is to discuss the recent progress in our understanding of the interactions and energy transfer that are central to various chemical and physical processes. The conference brings together scientists from all over the world to discuss the state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical studies of the key dynamical events in molecular systems.

The topics covered include:

  • Chemical Reaction Dynamics
  • Advances in Theoretical Chemistry
  • Photo-fragmentation Dynamics
  • Dynamics at Surfaces
  • Cold Collisions and Clusters
  • Ultrafast Dynamics
  • Electronically Non-adiabatic Phenomena
  • Energy Conversion Processes
  • Elementary processes in heterogeneous catalysis

The city of Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan state, about 226 kms from New Delhi airport.

About Conference

First established in 1971 in Cambridge, UK, the scope of the iCOMET meetings is to discuss the recent progress in our understanding of the interactions and energy transfer that are central to various chemical and physical processes. While the initial studies focused on the energy transfer in small molecules in the gas-phase, the field has now grown investigating complex processes that happen in the condensed phase, at interfaces in heterogeneous environments, and biological systems.

The conference brings together scientists from all over the world to discuss the state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical studies of the key dynamical events in molecular systems.
