International Congress of Young Chemists YoungChem 2012 - Poland

International Congress of Young Chemists ‘YoungChem2012’ is the 10th edition of a successful event, organized annually by students of Warsaw University of Technology. Members of Scientific Society ‘Flogiston’ do their best to let YoungChem get into the first league of ‘general’ chemical conferences in Europe.
From its very beginning the Congress of Young Chemists - YoungChem has been an event organised by students and for students (including M.Sc.-s, Ph.D. students, Ph.D.-s and so on). Its main goal is to give an opportunity for young, skilled and ambitious scientists to present to international audience their areas of research, attend lectures by famous and respectable professors, meet industry representatives and, of course, integrate.

Organisers try to create comfortable atmosphere during the conference, keeping at the same time its high scientific level, all of which makes each YoungChem an event to remember.

‘Flogiston’ does its best so that the conference's every subsequent edition is better than the previous one. Since 2003 YoungChem has evolved from a modest congress for students from Poland and its neighbouring countries through a European congress into an international one, which attracted over 110 participants from 25 countries from all over the world.

Apart from its scope, each YoungChem resulted in new friendships, international student exchanges and good memories of the time spent together. The Organising Committee hopes that the upcoming ninth edition shall keep this tradition and be at least as successful as the previous ones.
This time we want to invite You on 10-14.10.2012 to ***hotel in Gdansk.
We will be able to listen to lectures given by:

Prof. Janusz Jurczak
Department of Chemistry
Warsaw Univerity, Poland

Prof. Mieczysław Mąkosza
Institute of Organic Chemistry
Polish Academy of Science, Poland

Prof. José Cristobal López Pérez

Polish-German Biochemical Societies Joint Meeting

The leading theme of the Meeting “Biochemistry for Health and Environment” will cover important and diverse aspects of human, animal and plant functioning at the level of gene expression, metabolism, cell motility and their sensitivity to intracellular and environmental signals under conditions of health and pathology.
The lectures will be given by excellent and outstanding speakers from Poland and Germany. The Meeting will bring together leading biochemists, medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, biotechnologists, molecular and cell biologists to discuss and present the latest important developments. The Meeting will also provide a forum for in-depth assessment of the challenges involved in the dynamic and fast moving fields of drug discovery and therapy.

NEURONUS 2012, IBRO & IRUN Neuroscience Forum - Poland

It is our pleasure to invite you to NEURONUS 2012, IBRO & IRUN Neuroscience Forum to be held in Krakow (Poland) on April 20-22, 2012.
So far, four editions of two separate neuroscientific events have been annually organized at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow: the Students’ Neuroconference was organized by the NEURONUS Students’ Society and was mostly devoted to the molecular and biological neuroscience, while Krakow Workshop on Psychophysiology, organized by the Institute of Psychology, was focused primarily on the cognitive neuroscience. As some topics were common for both conferences, we have decided to co-organize one event as the 2012 edition of our previous conferences.
Our main goal is to create the opportunity to share the neuroscientific knowledge from related subdisciplines and, specifically, to establish contacts between experienced scientists and young researchers. We strongly believe that these changes will give rise to the big annual IBRO & IRUN-featured event, truly unique in Poland and on the Eastern European scale.
We can undoubtedly feel experienced with organizing successful conferences on the international scale. During the previous meetings we had an occasion to host some acknowledged scientists: Frank Pfrieger (Institute of Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences, Strasbourg), Stefan Pulver (Cambridge University), Richard Frackowiak (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Lausanne), Johannes Letzkus (FMI for Biomedical Research, Basel), Adrian Owen (Cambridge University), Alfons Hamm (University of Greifswald), Rolf Verleger (University of Lübeck), Rob van der Lubbe (University of Twente), Piotr Winkielman (University of California), and not to mention a strong representation of the Radboud University in Nijmegen (the Netherlands), with Anton Coenen and Gilles van Luijtelaar.
To summarize our annual meetings, last year we were invited to publish a set of scientific papers in one of the most relevant journals in the field, International Journal of Psychophysiology. “Basic and applied electrophysiology" special issue is expected to be successfully accomplished until the end of 2011. The opportunity to publish full papers in a peer-reviewed journal can undoubtedly reflect the quality of the so-far conference presentations.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee we eagerly await to welcome you in Krakow and wish you an inspiring tim
