Call for Posters - 15th EuroQSAR 2004


If there is only one meeting you can participate this year, EuroQSAR 2004 is it.

A heritage event with 25 year history, this year's EuroQSAR is unique in that it will also celebrate the 40th anniversary of QSAR.  The monumental Hansch-Fujita paper of 1964 (one of the most cited papers) is generally accepted as the beginning of QSAR.  Prof. Corwin Hansch has agreed to give the opening lecture entitled "40 Years with QSAR".  The social program takes advantage of the unique aspects of the venue, Istanbul, excursion with cruise at Bosporus and cultural evening with dinner, all included as part of the registration.  

The organizing committee is putting together a strong technical program under the session headings: QSAR, Chemical Properties (QSPR), Chemistry and Biology Interface, Combinatorial Chemistry, Computer Aided Drug Design, and a surprise new additional session entitled "Emerging Technologies" that will include very new ideas and approaches in the field that has not been published yet.
