EuCheMSEuCheMSNEWSLETTERNovember 2013Themes of the EuCheMS Chemistry Congress 2014Turkey will host the 5th EuCheMS Chem-istry Congress between 31 August and 4 September 2014. Chemists and scientists from related disciplines will meet in the heart of Istanbul at the best season of the city. The scientific programme is now com-pleted:Theme A: Resources and environmentA1 Environmental contaminants of emerging concernA2 Water quality and food production A3 Natural resources and mining A4 Advanced oxidation processes for water treatment A5 Air qualityTheme B: Chemistry and societyB1 Chemistry in the cultural context – safe-guarding the past with responsibility for the futureB2 Chemistry in the multinational European environment – education and communicationB3 EYCN workshopsTheme C: MaterialsC1 Properties, structure and synthesis of materialsC2 NanochemistryC3 Functional materialsC4 Energy materialsC5 Soft solids and polymersTheme D: Synthesis and catalysisD1 New horizons in catalysisD2 Advances in inorganic synthesisD3 Synthesis of functional compounds for bioimaging and related applicationsD4 Advances in organic synthesisTheme E: Chemistry for and in life sciencesE1 Imaging in the life sciencesE2 Chemical biology and drug discoveryE3 Advances in the chemistry of biomacromoleculesTheme F: Understanding matter andreactionsF1 From biomics to metabolomics to functio-nomics: progress in analytical methodologyF2 Bioanalytics for life sciencesF3 Nanostructured natural and man-made materialsF4 Advances in analytical methodsIn addition to the scientific programme the organisers also have planned a very rich social programme including a Bosphorus boat trip and a social dinner.We hope that you will include the 5th EuCheMS Chemistry Congress in your 2014 calendar and are looking forward to wel-coming you in Istanbul.Helena GrennbergChair of the scientific commiteehelena.grennberg@kemi.uu.seIstanbul is worth a journey.The committee for IstanbulThe EuCheMS Newsletter introduces the scientific commitee of the 5th EuCheMS Chemistry Congress in Istanbul. This issue goes on with Nick Westwood and Maria-Cristina Todasca.Nick Westwood is professor of chemistry and chemical biology at the University of St Andrews, UK. He carried out his early studies at Ox-ford completing his PhD with Chris Schofield in 1988. He took up a Nato post-doctoral fellowship in the lab of Philip D. Magnus at the University of Texas in Austin. He then moved to the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard where he worked with Matthew Shair and Tim Mitchi-son. In 2001, he returned to the UK as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. The main aim of his research is to apply high level methods in organic synthesis to problems in both chemistry and at the chemistry-biology interface. He was promoted to full professor in 2013. With respect to the EuCheMS Con-gress he is responsible for Theme E (Chemistry for and in the life sciences).Maria-Cristina Todasca lec-tures in food chemistry at the Faculty of Applied Chem-istry and Material Science of the University Politehnica in Bucharest. She studied food chemistry in Bucharest and finished her PhD in 2006. She has been a member of the Faculty Teachers Board since 2012, participating in decision-making regarding all educational as-pects, and part of the Faculty Commission of Quality Assurance. She was president of the Romanian Young Chemists Division of the Ro-manian Chemical Society (2007 to 2013) and has been active in EuCheMS as communi-cation officer in the first steering committee of the European Young Chemists Network (EYCN, 2007 to 2009), as secretary of EYCN (2011 to 2012) and as chair of EYCN (2012 to 2013). With respect to the EuCheMS Congress she is the convener of the Career Days, orga-nised by EYCN and GDCh Career Services. KS
