iCOMET 2023

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.
