The 11th Japan-Thai workshop on Theoretical and Computational Chemistry 2026 (JTTCC11) will be held on April 25, 2026 in an in-person form, at Yokohama City University (Kanazawa-Hakkei Campus), Yokohama, Japan. This workshop aims to promote international exchange of researchers and students in quantum chemistry between Japan and the Kingdom of Thailand. There will be oral and poster sessions. Oral presentations will be given by invited speakers (we will accept no contributed talks), however, we are now calling for poster presenters. We look forward to productive discussions.
Registration
Registration fees: Free
If you will join the conference mixer (with a light meal and drinks), a participation fee 3,000 JPY will be applied to a non-student participant (student: free).
Please fill out this registration form by April 15, 2026.
If you are an invited speaker, you do not have to use this registration form.
