Molecular properties & solvation

This international workshop is dedicated to celebrating the remarkable scientific career of Prof. Roberto Cammi, whose pioneering work has shaped the field of molecular properties and solvation. The event will bring together world-leading experts in theoretical and computational chemistry, including Prof. Roald Hoffmann, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (1981), to celebrate Prof. Cammi's outstanding contributions and their future directions.
