The aim of the BARRANDE-VLTAVA Meetings is to gather scientists from France and the Czech Republic who have similar scientific interests, to give them an opportunity to present and discuss their recent results, to share their experience with other scientists, and to find new collaborators in the other country. The Meeting will bring together researchers working on different aspects of inorganic, organic, coordination and materials chemistry covering synthesis and properties of ligands, catalysis, theoretical calculations and biochemical applications. The programme will include plenary lectures (40 min), oral presentations (20 min) and poster presentations.
