A special meeting in honour of Prof. R. Stephen Berry, cofounder of the Telluride Science Research Center. The Symposium will feature presentations that highlight Prof. Berry's numerous and diverse contributions to chemical physics over the length of his distinguished career, ranging through the theory of radiationless transitions, finite-time thermodynamics, electron correlation, clusters and energy landscapes. Prof. Berry has been described as "one of the most influential chemists of his generation" as well as a true statesman and ambassador for science. The Symposium aims to celebrate all his considerable achievements.
