Chemistry and Physics at Low Temperatures
The CPLT conference series resulted from the merger of two long-standing international conferences: the Gordon Conference on the Chemistry and Physics of Matrix-Isolated Species and the International Conference on Low Temperature Chemistry
The first united CPLT conference was organized by Mika Pettersson and Jan Lundell in 2013 in Jyväskylä, Finland. CPLT 2014 took place in Suzdal, Russia organized by Vladimir Feldman and Tatyana Shabatina.
CPLT 2016 was organized by Joëlle Mascetti, Claudine Crépin, and Stéphane Coussan and took place in Biarritz, France. CPLT 2018 was organized by David Anderson and Robert Hinde in Laramie, Wyoming. The next CPLT will be held in Sapporo, Japan

The conference will be hosted at an easily accessible location
is located in picturesque Visegrád, a short drive from Budapest. Do not book accomodation separately. Registration includes the hotel at a special reduced fee.
The fastest way from Budapest is by train and a short ferry ride. Intercity buses also stop next to the hotel. A daily tourist boat from the city is a leisurely option. See FAQ.
has frequent connecting flights from all over the world, and a number of low-cost airlines linking to many locations in Europe.
A touristic event is also scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
Oral submissions: May 22nd 2022 (or when slots fill up)

Please note that cancellations can only be accepted in writing (cplt@altagra.hu) and are subject to the following conditions: Cancellations received before or on 16 May: 70 % refund will be made. Cancellations after 16 May will not result in a refund. Non-attendance to the event will not result in a refund.
Frequent trains connect Budapest (Station Nyugati) to Nagymaros-Visegrád, from where a ferry crosses the Danube to the hotel. The same train line has direct trains to Bratislava and Prague every two hours from Nagymaros. Schedules and online tickets
There are riverboats (slow boat and express hydrofoil) taking the very scenic river route from downtown Budapest direct to Visegrád. See online schedules and book tickets.
Intercity buses also arrive directly to the hotel from the bus station at Újpest-Városkapu metro station. See online schedules Tickets are to be bought at the bus station.
Oral contribution are expected by May 22, 2022.
Poster abstracts before June 6, 2022.
Late registration (at increased fee) is from June 1, 2022.
