60th Symposium on Theoretical Chemistry: Next-Generation Theoretical Chemistry

This year’s Symposium for Theoretical Chemistry (STC 2024) took place in Braunschweig at the beginning of September 2024. The Symposium for Theoretical Chemistry is the most important international conference for theoretical chemistry in the German-speaking countries and takes place annually at different locations in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This year, almost 400 participants came to TU Braunschweig for this event. The conference was organized by Christoph Jacob and Jonny Proppe (TU Braunschweig). This year’s conference was held under the motto “Next-Generation Theoretical Chemistry”. Accordingly, STC 2024 celebrated both established and emerging fields in theoretical chemistry, including electronic structure theory, molecular dynamics, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and uncertainty quantification. In doing so, it particularly featured young scientist working on diverse topics in theoretical chemistry.
