Any subject pertinent in an interdisciplinary way to mathematics and/or computer sciences and chemistry is a legitimate topic to be presented at the MATH/CHEM/COMP'2000. Current research in the applications of computer modeling, combinatorics, graph theory and topology to any area of chemistry and physics is recommended.
The third day of the meeting is devoted to the chemistry, physics and mathematics of fullerenes. On the fourth day a Session on Proteins, Bioinformatics & Biocomputing is organized by Prof. Davor Juretic (University, Split, Croatia; E-mail: juretic@pmfst.hr), Prof. Gabor Naray-Szabo (Eoetvoes Lorand University, Budapest, Hungary; E-mail: naray@para.chem.elte.hu), and Prof. Nenad Raos (Institute of Occupational Health, Zagreb, Croatia; E-mail: raos@imi.hr).
