To celebrate two decades of success this CCTCC meeting will gather plenary lectures by twenty five invited speakers who have made prominent contributions to the broad field of computational and quantum chemistry, and two Nobel laureates. It will also provide the opportunity to all members of our community, researchers and students, to present and discuss their work through several poster sessions. Contributions in all areas of methods development and applications in theoretical chemistry are welcome.
