World Science Day for Peace and Development
“Every year, World Science Day is celebrated around the globe on 10 November. This year’s theme is Investing in science: investing in knowledge, a theme which intentionally mirrors that of the World Science Forum taking place in Budapest from 8 to 10 November. The Forum will be taking stock of the state of investment in R&D and the hurdles countries face in stepping up R&D intensity, including extreme poverty and lack of capacity.
Read the UNESCO Director-General’s message to mark the occasion of World Science Day.

22nd Conference of the European Colloid and Interface SocietyScope and Topics of ECIS 2008
The Conference traditionally covers a broad spectrum of colloid and interface science, ranging from fundamentals such as: interactions, stability, aggregation, phase transitions, electrokinetics, rheology, to applications, e.g., drug delivery systems, biosensors, biocompatible coatings, membranes, colloid and nanoparticle based catalysis, photocatalysis, optical filters, etc.
An essential issues of the Conference will be a proper description of the surface-mediated organisation of nanoparticle systems polyelectrolytes, colloids, mineral particles, proteins into hierarchical structures of targeted architecture and functionality, using, e.g. the layer by layer technique.
1. Dispersed and colloidal systems - bulk properties, agregation.
2. Surfactants, polyelectrolytes and biocolloids.
3. Concentrated dispersed systems - rheology, phase transitions.
4. Interactions of particles with surfaces, adsorption - theory and experiment.
5. Modelling of colloid dynamics and structure.
6. Active and Functional Interfaces.
7. Novel bulk and surface colloid systems - applications.

“The aim of the SMARTER meeting is to bring together specialists from the different areas of materials science, such as materials chemists and processing engineers, diffraction and spectroscopy scientists, and computational structuralists, that may contribute to the development of a common language for a SMARTER approach to structure solving, using Geometrical, Diffraction Modeling and NMR Crystallographies.”

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF BIOLOGICAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE
8th Course: Biophysics and the Challenges of Emerging Threats
“This course will provide an overview of biophysical and structural methods in biology. It will present technologies related to pathogen detection and treatment using these methods. Furthermore, it will teach basic principles and demonstrate concrete examples, encouraging technology growth and transfer to partner countries.“

I Simpósio Iberoamericano de Química Orgânica (SIBEAQO I)
11-15 de Novembro de 2007
Mar del Plata, Argentina
“O objectivo principal deste primeiro Simpósio é a criação de um novo ambiente científico para que os pesquisadores de Química Orgânica da América Latina, Espanha e Portugal possam estabelecer um intercâmbio frutífero de ideias e experiências. [...] Outro objectivo, não menos importante, é tornar o SIBEAQO I o embrião de uma Sociedade Iberoamericana de Química Orgânica que permita dar continuidade a esta iniciativa.“
A primeira circular do simpósio pode ser encontrada aqui.
“Os interessados em receber a segunda circular podem solicitá-la no endereço electrónico (provisório) sibeaqo@qmail.com antes de 31 de Março de 2007.“
nota:citações retiradas da primeira circular
The meeting is being organized by the National Division of Catalysis and Porous Materials of the Portuguese Chemical Society and is going to be held in Lamego, Portugal, from 21 to 23 September, 2007.
“The scientific programme includes plenary lectures, invited, oral and poster communications on topics of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, porous materials and adsorption processes.” (the quote was taken form the meeting homepage)
