WELCOME LETTER
Dear Fellow Chemists,
Following the very successful conferences in Budapest (2006),
Torino (2008) and Nürnberg (2010) we are now invited by
the Czech Chemical Society to come to Prague for the 4th European
Chemistry Congress.
Prague is not only one of the most beautiful cities in heart
of Europe, it also a traditional city of science because it hosts
Charles University, one of the oldest European Universities, founded
in 1348. Furthermore, Prague has a long tradition to gather
chemists from all over Europe. Around the turn of the 16th century
Habsburg emperor Rudolf II, who resided in Prague, rallied the key
alchemists of that time around him. The Zlatá ulička, the Golden Alley, a touristic spot
at Hradschin, owes its name to the alchemists who supposedly worked there to convert
lead in gold and to fi nd the Philosopher’s stone.
Prague is therefore the ideal setting for addressing the challenges of today’s chemistry.
The 4th European Chemistry Congress provides the opportunity to present the latest
progress in all areas of chemistry. It will bring together chemists from academia, industry
and governments and provides a platform for discussing the contributions of chemistry
to innovation in Europe and to meeting the big global challenges.
The congress also has a social function that is a “family celebration” of the European
chemistry community. EuCheMS has more than 40 member societies in over
30 countries across Europe, which in total represent about 150.000 individual chemists.
I would be delighted to meet a large proportion of them in Prague, as well as many
friends from all over the world.
Personally and on behalf of EuCheMS I invite you to come to Prague. My special
invitation goes to young chemists to use this unique opportunity for networking
and creating contacts.
Ulrich Schubert
EuCheMS President

Dear colleagues,
I invite you to attend the 4th biennial European Chemistry Congress on August
26–30 in Prague, Czech Republic. The meeting is organized by the Czech
Chemical Society on behalf of the nearly 50 European chemical societies
and professional organizations that constitute the European Association for
Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS). It provides participants with
academic, industrial, and government laboratories with a unique opportunity
to familiarize themselves with the cutting edge of current chemistry in Europe,
to renew old acquaintances, and to establish new contacts. An exhibition will be
an excellent opportunity for learning about the latest advances in commercial
products and for networking. Students and chemists in early stages of their
careers are particularly welcome.
The ten main sections, each hosting several symposia, will provide a feast for the curious spirit,
with chemistry for a sustainable world as the unifying theme. The following areas of chemistry
will be covered: (i) analytical and electro, (ii) education and history, (iii) food, (iv) environmental,
energy and green, (v) inorganic, (vi) life science, (vii) nano, (viii) organic and polymer, (ix) physical,
theoretical, and computational, and (x) solid state.
I do not expect that it will be easy to fi nd free time, but if you do, or better, if you stay for a few
extra days before or after the meeting, you will be able to enjoy the fabled glory of the historic
center of Prague, one of the few cities listed in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage
register. It is easily visible and easily reachable from the hill at which the conference center
is located.
I am looking forward to seeing you in Prague in August 2012.
Josef Michl
Congress chairman
Invitation to 4ECC Prague
Dear colleagues, it is my honour and pleasure to invite you, the members of
the large chemical community to the Prague European Chemistry Congress.
All the conveners and organizers are doing maximum to make the 4ECC
a successful meeting, full of inspiring and exciting new chemistry and motivating
meetings, personal discussions, enjoyment, and fun.
All are doing their best to fi ll the 11 main structural blocks of Congress with
the most interesting available material in the fi eld. Congress stresses not only
“haute chimie” but also other dimensions of this important human activity,
indispensable for quality life: environmental aspects, professional points of view,
quality of teaching chemistry, responsibility and ethical connotations, and links
to other branches of science and technology.
Let the Prague meeting of chemists be yours. May you feel you need to ask the organizers
for anything, here we are.
Pavel Drašar
Chair of the Local Organising Committee

A PLAY IN 9 SCENES
Staged dramatic reading directed by Zdenek
Havlas Jr. of Djerassi’s newest “science-in-theatre”
play dealing with the science of “bubbleology”
as applied to champagne and beer with a few
digs along the way at the foibles of academic
publishing, academic snobbery, and academic
tenure. An apt illustration of themes pertaining
to the “Ethics in Science – Chemistry and Ethics”
Congress special topic, but actually of relevance
to the entire chemical community.

CAREER DAYS
Following up the successful Career Days organized at
the 3 rd EuCheMS Chemistry Congress in Nürnberg in
2010, preparations for the next EuCheMS Chemistry
Congress are in full swing. As in Nürnberg, the
European Young Chemists Network (EYCN) and GDCh
Career Service will combine their ideas, experience and
enthusiasm to organize an event for undergraduate
and graduate students. A preliminary program
containing lectures, CV workshops and a reception
for jobseekers and potential employers will be
published in near future on EYCN and GDCh Career
Service pages.
