Welcome to Molecular Rotor Workshop 2017 in Prague, Czech Republic

We invite you cordially to attend a Prague Molecular Rotor Workshop that will be held on March 30-31, 2017, at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague). This meeting is dedicated to fundamental research in the field of molecular rotors/motors, with special focus on rotary motion in 2-D and 3-D materials. Plenary lectures will consists of experimental and theoretical contributions from organic, supramolecular, physical, and theoretical chemistry and physics. This workshop was made possible by generous support by the IOCB and by the Czech-French joint project 7AMB MOBILITY. Due to limited capacity of the conference room, all non-registered participants should contact Jiří Kaleta in advance to make a reservation (jiri.kaleta@uochb.cas.cz).

Best regards,

Jiří KALETA and Josef MICHL, co-organizers
