The 2010 Molecular and Ionic Clusters Conference will be one of the most exciting and important cluster science meetings of the year. The conference will be held at Atema Kougen Resort Hotel Belnatio in Niigata, Japan from September 5-10, 2010. The hotel has its own Japanese Hot Springs and is set in a 12.6 acre (5.1 km2) site with easy access to a wide range of outdoor activities including tennis, hiking, cycling and swimming - there is even a full 18 hole golf course! The region is famous for its sake, traditional Japanese rice wine, and for those who develop a taste, a visit to see the Sake being made is a great opportunity.

The conference will cover the spectroscopy, dynamics, and reactivity of a wide range of cluster types and sizes, including helium nanodroplets, metal clusters, ionic clusters, hydrogen-bonded networks, and clusters involving biological molecules. Special sessions on contemporary topics such as cold- molecule collisions are also planned. Both experimental and theoretical aspects of cluster science will be well-represented at the conference.
