EVOLUTION OF CHEMICAL COMPLEXITY: FROM SIMPLE INTERSTELLAR MOLECULES TO TERRESTRIAL BIOPOLYMERS

Evolution of Chemical Complexity

Liblice Castle, Czech Republic, 13-15 September 2016

The meeting will try to map the chemical evolution of the molecular building blocks of life from their possible sources in the interstellar medium, the atmospheres of planets and on their surfaces. It also aims to serve to engage the astrochemistry and systems chemistry communities into a dialogue.

The meeting venue is Liblice Castle, an 18th century castle in a wonderful park offers 4 star hotel accommodation, excellent meeting facilities in Baroque settings and excellent meals.
