3.  The 12th Greece – Cyprus Chemistry Conference
   It was held in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki (GR) from 8th-11th May 2015. Excellently organized by the Association of Greek Chemists (AGC) and the Pancyprian Union of Chemists in close collaboration with AGC’s Northern Branch, the Chemistry Department of the University of Thessaloniki, the Chemistry Department of the University of Cyprus and the State General Laboratory of Cyprus, more than 700 chemists and chemistry students participated, many of them selected for an oral or poster presentation. Astonishingly, more than 400 of them were young, enthusiastic people, highly interested in chemistry that want to follow up the new trends in their field of interest. Last but not least, all the participants highlighted the excellent quality of the research work presented during the three days conference along with the passion of the young chemists and students in disseminating their scientific results. More details (in Greek) and photos can be found at the site of the conference. See a selection of pictures below.
