8^th Southern School on Computational Chemistry and Materials Science is organized together by the members of the NSF-EPSCOR Computational Chemistry Cluster, NSF-CREST Computational Center for Molecular Structure and Interactions, the NSF-Partnership for Research and Education for Materials (NSF-PREM) and Jackson State University. The meeting will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Jackson, MS on April 25–26 (Friday and Saturday), 2008.

We are planning a small number of 40 minute lectures of invited speakers, 20 minute oral presentations and posters. These presentations will cover all areas of computational chemistry and materials science.
