Borovik Kara Bren Kendall N. Houk Lawrence Que Jr. Edward I. Solomon 7 Venue 8 GS 18 Predictive Catalysis: Transition-Metal Reactivity by Design The Girona Seminar 18 will be held at Centre Cultural la Mercè, located in the old town/old quarter/Barri Vell of the city of Girona. All lectures and coffee-breaks will take place in this historic building, in particular in the Auditorium/Hall of La Mercè and the cloisters. The lunches will be served close to the venue of the conferences. Getting to Centre Cultural la Mercè is well hidden even for those people that live in Girona and so Plaça Catalunya is a good starting point, since it is only 200 m away from it. Most of the well-known hotels of Girona, especially those located in the city center of Girona, are within walking distance from where the congress takes place. Hotels further away from Centre Cultural la Mercè are connected to the city center by bus. The Girona Seminar 18 Conference Dinner will take place at restaurant AC Palau de Bellavista, at the Pujada Polvorins nº1, Girona. 9 GS 18 Predictive Catalysis: Transition-Metal Reactivity by Design Program 10 GS 18 Predictive Catalysis: Transition-Metal Reactivity by Design YOUNG RESEARCHERS SYMPOSIUM April 3th, 2018 Session I Session Chairs: Giorgio Olivo, Anton Stasyuk Sun Xiaobo (VU Univ.
