The Core-to-Core program, “Elucidation of solvation effects on molecular recognition,” began in April 2024. The project is to elucidate the role of solvation effects in biomolecule and ion recognition through the collaboration of teams of experimental and theoretical researchers specializing in molecular clusters from Japan, France, Germany, and the United States. This is the third international symposium as a joint symposium with UCSB, and in addition to the core-to-core program members, other prominent researchers in related fields will be invited to give talks.
