ScopeTopics

The 6th international symposium on “Molecular Thermodynamics and Molecular Simulation(MTMS’12)”will be held during September 25-28 at Higashi-Hiroshima Campus of Hiroshima University
in Higasi-Hiroshima, Japan. The objective of this four-day symposium is to provide a forum to scientists
and engineers to discuss the recent advances in the large area of molecular thermodynamics and molecularsimulation. The symposium is structured with keynote lectures by eminent scientists and engineers, andoral and poster presentations.
MTMS is held at three-year intervals since 1994 at the following places:
1st 1994 Kyoto, organized by Prof. Koichiro Nakanishi (Kyoto Univ.)
2nd 1997 Tokyo, organized by Prof. Hideo Nishiumi (Hosei Univ.)
3rd 2003 Sendai, organized by Prof. Hiroshi Inomata (Tohoku Univ.)
4th 2006 Makuhari, organized by Prof. Toshihiko Hiaki (Nihon Univ.)
5th 2009 Kanazawa, organized by Prof. Kazuhiro Tamura (Kanazawa Univ.)
6th 2012 Higashi-Hiroshima, organized by Prof. Shigeki Takishima (Hiroshima Univ.)・Molecular thermodynamics
・Thermophysical properties
・Solution structure of supercritical fluids
・Reaction in supercritical fluids
・Macromolecules
・Mesoscopic systems
・Ionic liquids
・Process design and simulation
・Molecular simulations and techniques
・Quantum Simulations

Location
Higashi-Hiroshima which is adjacent to Hiroshima City is locatedin western Japan, and surrounded by the bounties of nature. There
are many sake breweries in the city, and they are thronged withtourists at sake festival held in October of each year.
