AIM OF THE CONFERENCE
The 4th International Conference of the Chemical Societies of the South-East European Countries on Chemical Sciences in Changing Times: Visions, Challenges and Solutions is organized to bring scientists from the South-East European countries together for an improvement of mutual relations, as well as an enhancement of scientific co-operation in all fields of fundamental and applied chemistry. Special topics will be highlighted in three accompanying symposia. The presence of eminent world speakers should provide a stimulating environment for scientific exchange. The Conference will cover all aspects of pure and applied chemistry.

ACCOMPANYING CONFERENCE SYMPOSIA
A. Advanced Materials: 
From Fundamentals to Applications:
Nanostructured materials, biomaterials, carbon-based materials, ceramics, macromolecules, metals and alloys, composites, coatings and thin films, carbon-based materials, methods for the synthesis and processing of materials.
B. The Greening of Chemistry: 
Pursuit of a Healthy Environment and Safe Food: 
Renewable or recycled feed stocks, alternative synthetic pathways by catalysis and biocatalysis, photochemistry and biomimetic materials, reduction of energy consumption and release of pollutants, minimization of release of pollutants, reduction of energy consumption, organically grown crops, genetically modified crops, agrochemicals.
C. Teaching and Understanding Chemistry:
New Concepts and Strategies for Changing Times:
Dedicated to 150 years of teaching chemistry in Serbia. Introduction to chemistry – chemical education at the elementary level, high school chemistry, university courses in chemistry, active learning in chemistry, permanent education, the public image of chemistry and the chemical industry
