European Chemistry Congresses
The EuCheMS Chemistry Congress is a biennial event, beginning in 2006 with the 1st conference in Budapest. Around 2300 parcicpants from more than 50 countries attended the congress. In 2008, the congress was held in Turin and again more than 2000 chemists followed the invitation to Italy, now coming from more than 65 nations. The 3rd EuCheMS Chemistry Congress from August 29 - September 2, 2010 was organized by the German Chemical Society on behalf of EuCheMS and Nürnberg was the hosting city. In 2012, the 4th EuCheMS Chemistry Congress was held in Prague where almost 1800 participants enjoyed a comprehensive overview of the current state of chemistry. Apart from the scientific side, EYCN organized the Career Days, a satellite event aiming at furthering the careers of the young chemists. The 5th EuCheMS conference will be organised by the Turkish Chemical Society and will take place in Istanbul between 31 August 2014 and the 4th of September 2014.

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or chemistry:
“Long accustomed to the use of European manufactures, [the Cherokee Indians] are as incapable of returning to their habits of skins and furs as we are, and find their wants the less tolerable as they are occasioned by a war [the American Revolution] the event of which is scarcely interesting to them.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
