The Royal Society of Chemistry sponsored International Symposium on Gas Kinetics and Related Phenomena will return to France in 2018, with the 25th meeting taking place from the 22 - 26 July at the Plenary Hall of the Hauts de France Government, in the historic city of Lille.  



The workshop will introduce the concepts of modeling atmospheric chemistry and aerosols across different scales (box models, regional, and global models). Renowned atmospheric scientists from the university community and NCAR will provide lectures on the science behind atmospheric modeling, covering three main themes: transport, chemistry, and aerosols.  In addition, participants will apply these concepts in hands-on exercises.
