* Physical Organic Chemistry
Femtochemistry, molecular recognition, megamers were among the "hot"
fields highlighted at the 15th International Conference on Physical
Organic Chemistry (ICPOC 15) (Göteborg, Sweden, 8—13 July 2000). Twelve
of the plenary lectures are now published in Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 72,
No. 12, pp. 2219-2358 (2000); conference editor, P. Ahlberg

Better and safer drugs - that was the theme, addressed from many angles,
at the XVIth International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry (Bologna,
Italy, 18-22 September 2000). Presentations on the New Development in
anti-HIV Chemotherapy, and the Continuing Evolution of the Drug
Discovery Process in the Pharmaceutical Industry are published in Pure
Appl. Chem., Vol. 73, No. 1, pp. 55-75 (2001); conference editor,

* Green Chemistry
Lectures presented at the International Symposium on Green Chemistry
(Delhi, India, 10-13 January 2001) and publsihed in PAC reflect the
scientific diversity of the meeting and its effective coverage of the
basic concepts of and technology tool kit for green chemistry.

- - - - - -- PROJECTS FRONT -- - - - - -

* "Think IUPAC Project"
An OPEN MEETING at Brisbane is being organized to review the project
approval process and to encourage current Commission members and other
members of IUPAC bodies to submit projects. The meeting will consist of
a review of the process, including a description of the kinds of
projects that are suitable for IUPAC. After the review, there will be an
opportunity for questions and discussion from the participants.
The meeting is scheduled from 16:00-18:00 on Friday 29 June 2001.
Location will be announced at Brisbane.
Beer and wine will be served after the meeting !
> To read more about IUPAC Projects, review the current projects, find
out which one are completed or new, download a submission form and
guidelines, etc.
