- INVITATION -
On behalf of the New Swiss Chemical Society and the Organizing Committee, we
cordially invite you to participate in the 36th IUPAC Congress to be held in
Geneva, Switzerland, during the week Sunday, 17th August-Friday, 22nd August
1997.
It is a great honor for us to host this prestigious Congress which was held
only once before in Switzerland (Zurich, 1955). The Congress will provide a
unique opportunity for academic and industrial chemists from around the
world to exchange ideas, expertise and experience on topics related to the
theme Frontiers in Chemistry, New Perspectives for the 2000s. The aim of the
organizers is to bring together distinguished experts not only to present
their work but to discuss the major scientific and technological challenges
facing chemistry in the next millennium.
The scientific program will consist of plenary lectures and five parallel
streams of contributed lectures, each session beginning with a keynote
lecture given by an acknowledged expert in the relevant field. In addition,
ample time will be available for poster sessions.
Geneva situated on the edge of the biggest lake in Europe, surrounded by a
scenic countryside, and close to the snow-capped Mont Blanc range, offers
many opportunities for excursions and recreation which will appeal to
tourists of all ages.
We extend a warm invitation to all scientists to participate in this
Congress and we look forward to seeing you in Geneva in 1997 !
Professor Jacques Weber
Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 36th IUPAC Congress
and Professor Alexander von Zelewsky
President of the New Swiss Chemical Society
