5th International Young Scientists Conference on Organic Chemistry (InterYCOS 2009)

"UNIVERSITIES CONTRIBUTION IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY PROGRESS"

International youth conference on organic synthesis is carried out for the fifth time and has vital importance for establishment and development of international relations and fruitful cooperation between young scientist, post-graduates and Ph. D students of russian high school and their colleagues abroad in different countries. This conference has traditional character (first conference took place in 1994, next in 1999, 2002, 2005).

Conference program will reflect modern trends of organic synthesis development, synthetic design, new methods and reagents, non-traditional synthetic approaches, application of theoretical chemistry achievements in organic chemistry, bioorganic and polymer chemistry, new approaches to reaction mechanisms investigation.

== Organizations ==

We expect participation of scientists from following organizations:

• Saint-Petersburg State University (Russia)
• Saint-Petersburg Branch of Russian Mendeleev's Chemical Society (Russia)
• Russian Pedagogical University (Russia)
• Moscow State University (Russia)
• Saint-Petersburg Technological University (Russia)
• Petrozavodsk State University (Russia)

• Bowling Green State University (USA)
• Leipzig University (Germany)
• Humboldt University (Germany)
• University of Southern California(USA)
• Ulm University (Germany)
• Zurich University (Switzerland)
• University of Friebourg (Switzerland)

We expect participation of 30 scientists from overseas, more than 100 representatives of Saint-Petersburg chemical organizations and 60-80 participants from other Russian universities and institutes.

At the conference young scientists-(chemists) will get information about latest achievements in synthetic organic chemistry, participants will be able to exchange information with colleagues from Russia and other countries.

Conference comprises plenary lectures of known scientists as well as a large number of young scientist’s oral communications and posters.

In the process of conference it is planned to arrange discussion on the universities role in the progress of organic chemistry, organization problems of scientific researches in organic synthesis and problems of chemical education nowadays.

== Location ==

Scientific sessions will take place at the lecture hall of Mendeleev’s Center, on the following address:
