History

Since the first Symposium on the Jahn-Teller Effect was organized in 1976 at Bad Honnef, Germany, this conference series has developed into a well-established international forum for researchers working in this field and allied areas. The symposium has been held approximately every two years, bringing together scientists interested in both the fundamental theoretical aspects and the experimental manifestations of the Jahn-Teller effect. Over the years, the scope of the meeting has expanded to include studies of Jahn–Teller effect, vibronic coupling and non-adiabatic interactions in a wide variety of systems, ranging from molecular species or clusters containing main-group and transition elements to impurity systems and diverse solid-state materials.
