Energized molecules are the essential actors in many chemical reactions in complex molecular environments such as solvents, supercritical fluids, molecular networks, or clusters. While chemical bonds often break, form, and rearrange on ultrafast timescales, biological transformations often proceed on very different timescales. Therefore, the approaches to record “snapshots” of the molecular dynamics in real-time may be very different. As opposed to classical meetings of this type a somewhat broader range of spectroscopic techniques such as ultrafast linear and non-linear spectroscopy techniques using IR, UV and visible photons, ultrafast Xray diffraction spectroscopy, as well as NMR spectroscopy will be covered, with relevant timescales ranging between femtoseconds and milliseconds. At the same time novel and efficient theoretical approaches will be highlighted and discussed.
The scope of the meeting is to bring together experimentalists from different fields of time resolved spectroscopy and theoreticians with different theoretical approaches all providing very different snapshots and views of molecular transformations in complex molecular environments.
The meeting will provide a forum to discuss modern developments in experimental and theoretical time resolved molecular dynamics and to explore the advantages and limits of each approach. The program will consist of submitted and invited talks.

Beyond the main lectures and contributed talks there will be a poster session.
