XVII Mendeleev Congress
on General and Applied Chemistry
-
IUPAC-sponsored event*
2126
September 2003, Kazan, Russia
Mendeleev Congress on General
and Applied Chemistry usually takes place every five years
and is the most prestigious national meeting of Russian chemists.
The Ist Mendeleev Congress on General and Applied Chemistry
was held in St. Petersburg in 1907 and was dedicated to the
memory of D. I. Mendeleev. The XVI Mendeleev Congress on General
and Applied Chemistry took place in St. Petersburg in 1998
and was dedicated to 250 years of chemistry research in Russia.
The XVII Mendeleev Congress, which will be presided over by
Professor Oleg M. Nefedov, will be held in Kazan, a famous
scientific, industrial, and cultural center on the banks of
the Volga where the East meets the West. Kazan is a nearly
thousand-year old city considered to be a cradle of Russian
organic chemistry.
The main goals of the congress
are to (i) determine how to develop chemistry, chemical technology,
and chemical education; (ii) integrate academic, applied,
and university science; (iii) discuss how to use chemistry
to solve important economic, ecological, and social problems;
(vi) examine the urgent problems and prospects of chemical
science; and (vii) broaden interdisciplinary and international
co-operation.
The scientific program will
cover the following areas:
- Chemical science: the
most important achievements and prospects for high technologies
and advanced materials
- Supramolecular chemistry
and nanomaterials
- Advanced materials
- Chemistry and environmental
problems; analysis and control of environmental objects
- Energy and resource saving
chemical technologies
- Chemical aspects of the
life science
- Chemical informatics
- New instrumental methods
in chemistry
- Problems of chemical education
- History and achievements
of Russian chemists
Approximately 1500 scientific
participants are expected to attend the Congress.
The following meetings will
be held within the framework of the congress:
- Russian-American Symposium
on Chemical Education
- VII International Conference
on Chemistry of Carbenes and Related Intermediates
- Symposium dedicated to
the centenary of chromatography discovered by M. S. Zvet
- Roundtable Discussion
on "State and Development of Chemical Science in the Former
Soviet Union Countries"
