The organizing committee is pleased to invite you to the 13th edition of the International Conference on the Applications of Density Functional Theory in Chemistry and Physics, which will be held from August 31st to September 4th, 2009 in Lyon, France.

This conference succeeds events organized in Vienna (1997), Rome (1999), Madrid (2001), Brussels (2003), Geneva (2005) and Amsterdam (2007).
The DFT09 Conference will be devoted to fundamental and applied aspects of Density Functional Theory in Chemistry and Physics, focusing on recent advances in:

Properties

Density Matrices, current functionals and density functionals

Linear scaling methods

Van der Waals interactions

Time-dependent DFT

Catalysis, reactivity and surface properties

Large systems and biosystems

Nano and molecular devices

Conceptual DFT

Other applications of DFT are also welcome.
