College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering was originally founded in 1910 as the Chemistry Division of the Metropolitan University of the Qing Dynasty, which is the oldest chemistry department in national universities of China. In 1994, it is renamed College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering. Now, it is set up with 5 departments: Department of Chemistry, Department of Material Chemistry, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, Department of Applied Chemistry and Department of Chemical Biology; 5 institutes: Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Institute of Organic Chemistry, Institute of Analytical Chemistry, Institute of Physical Chemistry and Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. With fine conditions for education and academic research today, it is one of the most influential chemical education and research institutions in China and also among the best around the world.

The satellite workshop Recent advances in quantum dynamics and thermodynamics of complex systems will take place in the Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. The auditorium is Room A204, Chemistry Building.
