Welcome Address
Dear Participants,
XXII Congress of Chemists and Technologists of Macedonia
The 22 nd Congress of the SCTM (Society of chemists and technologists of Macedonia) is a
continuation of a traditional gathering of experts in chemistry, chemical technology and allied fields
from Macedonia and other countries. This manifestation is organized biennially by the SCTM for
near half a century.
Again this September we will enjoy the pleasure to hear science from a choice of invited lecturers,
and to understand what is new in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering, metallurgy,
pharmacy, agriculture, etc. We will also read the posters with results of research done in the past
two years by our colleagues and young scientists that grow up in our faculties, institutesm and
industry.
This Congress is not a modest one. More than 300 abstracts were submited for presentation from
almost 240 authors of 12 countries. A total of 20 lecturers, plenary, sectional and key-note ones are
expected to present their lectures.
You are aware that in a year with economic crisis it is not an easy task to organize a Congress of
this size. Thanks to our sponsors, as well as to the support by OPCW, our Congress will take place
the same way as the previous ones. Your interest is also an important element for this success.
The Congress is scheduled to cover four days and also to offer possibility to visit some of the
historical sites and touristic attractions that the ancient Ohrid has. We do hope that you will keep it
in your memories by its scientific highlights, cordial hospitality and great friendship.
Thank you for attending the 22 nd Congress,
President of SCTM,
Prof. Svetomir Hadzi Jordanov
