Quantum Bio·Inorganic Chemistry Society

Aims of the Society

The QBIC Society is a non-profit organization whose goal is the advancement of science and research in theoretical and computational chemistry as applied to inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry. This is fulfilled by:

  • supporting scientific research in the area of quantum chemistry and computational chemistry focused on inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, including any method development that will benefit these areas of chemistry,
  • promoting the exchange of knowledge, scientific data and results between scientists that pursue research in these areas of chemistry, by electronic means or in person,
  • organising or supporting the organisation of scientific conferences, meetings and summer/winter schools that focus on these areas of chemistry and/or serve to train younger generations of scientists,
  • enhancing the visibility and recognition of outstanding contributions that researchers in theoretical and computational chemistry make to long-standing problems and open questions in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, for instance by awarding them with prizes, medals, and other honours which may include a monetary reward,
  • promoting and publicising the work of scientists in the areas of chemistry of relevance to the QBIC Society by editing special issues of scientific journals or in other suitable ways,
  • promoting advances and developments in these areas of chemistry to the general public.
