FOR CENTURIES, chemists in Europe have been at the forefront of the molecular sciences, making discoveries that have changed the way we live and helping to tackle some of the most urgent problems facing the world today—for example, those relating to the environment, energy, health care, and medicine. Yet, despite the long history of chemistry in Europe, a congress on chemistry bringing together chemists from around Europe has never been held.
