Mid Term
Review and Second Year Meetings,
Universidad de Almeria, Spain, December 20-21, 2005.
The second year meeting coincided with the Mid Term Review meeting and the Workshop "Andalusia meets Europe II", for which a website was created. Aquachem participants and EC officers can access the Meeting Minutes from the internal pages.
Third Year Meeting,
University of Debrecen, Hungary, January 12-13, 2007.
Local organizer: Prof. Ferenc Joó (Institute of Physical Chemistry, University of Debrecen, Debrecen 10, P.O.Box 7, H-4010 Hungary; fjoo@delfin.unideb.hu)
Venue: The meeting was held in the Postás Üdülő in Debrecen, a hotel/resort house providing accommodation, meals and conference facilities under the same roof. This was extremely important to cope with the tight schedule of the conference. For those who requested, an airport transfer service was available ensuring smooth and fast travel from Budapest Ferihegy Airport direct to the hotel and back.
Attendance: The meeting was attended by participants from all the eleven collaborating laboratories of the Network. Total number of the participants was 44, including 20 early stage researchers (ESR) and experienced researchers (ER) in addition to 18 senior scientists of the participating laboratories. In addition, six students of the Debrecen school joined the activities of the meeting (and also provided help to make any arrangements).The Meeting Minutes and the Book of Abstracts are available for registered users from the internal pages.
Fourth Year and Final Meeting,
LCC-CNRS, Toulouse, France, November 29-December 1, 2007 (together with
CIAM Workshop)
Local organizers: Prof. Rinaldo Poli and Prof. Anne-Marie Caminade (Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination, UPR CNRS 8241, 205 Route de Narbonne, Toulouse)
Venue: The meeting was held in the Salle “Gallais” inside of the premises of Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination, CNRS Toulouse. Social events included a dinner at a local restaurant, while lunches were provided at the local canteen inside the university complex.
Attendance: The final meeting was held in conjunction with the second Aquachem workshop "Catalysis in Aqueous Media" (CIAM) to which both invited speakers and Aquachem Senior and Junior scientists delivered oral communications on subjects stemming from or related to Aquachem activities. All ER/ESRs still appointed illustrated their results within the corresponding Aquachem projects. All people attending the meetings and workshop agreed on the high value of such an event and the high standard of organisation at LCC.The Meeting Minutes and the Book of Abstracts are available for registered users from the internal pages.
