Program of the symposium
1. High and super high resolution spectroscopy of molecules, radicals, ions, complexes, molecules in matrix and nanostructures.
2. Spectroscopy and dynamics of intermolecular interactions.
3. Spectroscopy of biomolecules and their complexes.
4. Theory of molecular systems, application of quantum chemistry, and other computational methods.
5. Spectroscopy applications in atmospheric physics, in astrophysics, and in the physics of molecular gases in extreme conditions.
6. Spectroscopy in medicine and in gas analysis.
7. Experimental methods and techniques of spectroscopy.
8. Databases and information systems in spectroscopy.

The Symposium schedule will include
1. Invited lectures (up to 45 min with discussion).
2. Oral presentations (up to 15 min with discussion).
3. Poster sessions.

The working languages of the symposium are Russian and English. All materials (slides, posters) must be prepared in English! Participants who make invited lectures and oral presentations may choose the language of the report themselves.

All speakers are requested to provide presentations to the organizing committee on the eve of the performance, and also duplicate their reports in “pdf” format.
To demonstrate poster presentations, A0 format stands (portrait orientation) will be provided.

Publication of materials

       The Book of Abstracts will be published before the beginning of the Symposium as an electronic book (ISBN number assigned) available on the symposium web site.
       A special issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry based on the materials of the HighRus-2023 symposium is planned to be publish at the end of 2023 - in beginning of 2024. All proposed articles will undergo standard peer review in accordance with the rules of the Journal of Physical Chemistry, presented on the website https://sciencejournals.ru/journal/fizkhim/ .
       All materials (a letter to the editor, the text of the manuscript in Russian or English in Word and PDF format, a list of possible reviewers (up to 3 people), a license agreement, an agreement on the transfer of copyright) should be sent to the executive editor of the issue Andrey Vladislavovich Stolyarov at
avstol@gmail.com marked "HighRus-2023 special issue". The deadline for accepting manuscripts is September 30, 2023.

Useful information

The climate of Lake Baikal is sharply continental, the weather changes often. Even during the day there is a large temperature difference - up to 10 degrees. It can also get colder in a couple of days - yesterday it was +25°C and sunny, and today it is +10°C and it started to rain. So to be sure bring with you warm clothes and a raincoat (just in case).

If you are insured against tick-borne encephalitis, take your insurance policy with you.
