History of Eurasian Heterocyclic Meetings (brief overview)

Eurasian Meetings on Heterocyclic Chemistry (EAMHC, early name ­ Eurasian Heterocyclic Meetings, EAHM)1 are biannual meetings complementary to a number of heterocyclic events such as ICHC, European colloquium, Ibn Sina, Blue Danube and Florida heterocyclic meetings. The EAMHC meetings proved to enhance and improve heterocyclic chemistry by opening the doors for chemists from different places to meet and share their results and ideas. Launching the Eurasian Heterocyclic Conference of Chemistry (EMAHC) was the idea of Prof. Eugene Babaev (Moscow), who is considered as the founder of this series of meetings. He believed that science and scientists can play a crucial role in creating a better world, and this can be achieved by collaboration in research and exchanging ideas that surve prosperity of mankind, starting with Eurasia (Europe and Asia) which is biggest continent, occupying 1/3 of the earth, 70% of the human world's population living in ~100 countries with vast ethnical diversity. In August 1999 during 17th International Congress of Heterocyclic Chemistry (ICHC) in Vienna, Babaev discussed the idea of EAHMs with several eminent chemists, who showed a high enthusiasm to the idea expressed and became members of International Advisory Board (IAB). The IAB included Prof. F. Sauter from Austria (who chaired ICHC and co-chaired several Blue Danube and Ibn Sina Heterocyclic Symposiums), Prof. J. Cavaleiro from Portugal (chaired the last European heterocyclic colloquium), Prof. S. Abu-Orabi from Jordan (organizer of few national and international meetings in Jordan) and some other eminent scientists. In addition, International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry adopted the initiative of this event: its chairman Prof. Y. Yamamoto (Japan) joint the IAB, and its secretary Prof. H. Neuenhoeffer (Germany) also decided to attend. Several prominent scientists (Prof. L. Harwood from UK, Prof. Ila Hiriakanavar from India, Prof. Sunggak Kim from Korea and others) expanded the geographical location of potential speakers. The board adopted the "golden rule" of Prof. Fritz Sauter to organize a successful conference (let's call it "the 3 P's" rule): "good Program (attractive speakers), good Place (tourist attraction with


good transportations), and good Price (small registration fee)". Suzdal ­ an ancient and small Russian town was chosen as the venue of the first meeting in the year 2000. The EAMHC have the following aims: Get better acquaintance with the science of our "continental neighbors". Achieve maximal geographical diversity of the participants. Encouraging young chemists and opening better educational and training chances for them. Establishing stronger collaboration between Eurasian countries. Cultural exchange which brings better understanding and appreciation of diversity. Establishing friendships between chemists of different Eurasian countries. Traditionally, the list of IAB members is slightly modified every meeting according to suggestions of National Organizing Committees (NOC) and activity of the past members. Below is the full list of all scientists ever served as IAB members in the period 2000-2008.

Reports of the previous EAHM:
EAHM-1 (Suzdal, Sept. 16-19, 2000). Venue Suzdal ­ an ancient and small Russian town (about 250 km from Moscow), where the atmosphere of old Russia has been preserved for centuries. Famous Suzdal ensemble of monasteries and churches and comfortable tourist center always attract a lot of visitors from abroad. This town is considered as one of the world cultural heritage sites by UNESCO commission. Also Suzdal is a part of famous "Golden Ring" (a set of ancient towns around Moscow), and this name was also featured ­ it may be symbolically associated not only with a heterocyclic ring, but also with a golden ring coupling East and West.

Accommodation International Tourist Center, Suzdal (GTK-Suzdal). Announcements Conference website (http://www.chem.msu.ru/eng/misc/babaev/Eurasia/1a.html, Feb. 2000). Circulars distributed at ISHM in Alexandria and at International meeting in Jordan. The circulars were published in Indian and Russian journals of heterocyclic chemistry. Bayer AG. Mostly waived. Registration fee USD500 was taken from business participants. In few cases the flight costs were partially reimbursed. 70 attendees from Russia, Germany, India, Portugal, Austria, Greece, Japan, Egypt, Belgium, Jordan, Armenia, Netherlands, Latvia, Switzerland, Ukraine, Korea, UK, and Iraq.

Cultural and Social Events Special atmosphere of the meeting was highly democratic; very prominent scientists and less-known colleagues had a lot of informal discussions. The participants highly appreciated rich cultural program, several excursions to Suzdal museums, pre/post-conference tours to Moscow, folklore group, perfect Russian food. The conference was finished by round table, where the participants claimed the same opinion that this initiative was very important, this meeting should be repeated in 2-3 years, and all participants voted that the next location of the meeting should be (at least for 2-3 next events) again in Russia. A night lecture "Organic analysis allows us a look at prehistoric life" given by Prof. Sauter. Book of conference proceedings. The detailed report (in Russian) about this meeting was published2.

EAHM-2 (Novgorod the Great, September 14 - 17, 2002) Venue Novgorod the Great ­ city located in the North-Western part of Russia (not far from St.-Petersburg). Citizens of Novgorod developed and used (for about 600 years) the "veche" ­ ancient parliament of all citizens that took all vital decisions on the life and foreign policy of the city. So, Novgorod is a symbolic cradle of Russian republican and democratic traditions. The ancient republic's special political structure, spiritual freedom and territorial independence were highly favorable to evolve culture and art. Famous Novgorod Kremlin, ensembles of monasteries and churches always attract a lot of tourists from abroad, and this town is considered as another UNESCO world cultural heritage site.

Cultural and Social Events Round Table Meeting Memorial Features Publication Excursions to Kremlin and Novgorod museums, concert of Russian folklore group, pre/post conference tours to St.-Petersburg and Moscow. Again participants voted to keep the further event in Russia. That year the preference was given to younger leaders (the age of speakers was 30-45 years), and a special session was organized to PhD and undergraduate students. Book of conference proceedings. The report about that meeting was published3 and selected materials appeared online as full papers in Molecules4.


EAHM-3 (Novosibirsk, September 12 - 17, 2004). Venue After two events organized in European part of Russia (in close vicinities to two Russian capitals, Moscow and St.-Petersburg) the meeting was shifted to Asian part. The chosen place was Novosibirsk ­ the geographical center of Russia, the heart and capital of Siberia. The city is famous for its Scientific Center («Akademgorodok») where tens of academic institutes form a sort of town with quite a unique atmosphere. (Sometimes nowadays this area is referred as "Silicon taiga".) September in Siberia is mild (Golden Autumn season).

W. Cultural and Social Events Round Table Meeting Memorial Features Publication City tours, excursions to Novosibirsk museums, pre/post conference tours to Altai mountains, ancient city Tomsk. Acquaintance with Akademgorodok institutes. Participants enjoyed combination of two events. The necessity to establish international group for further advanced planning of the event (Eurasian bureau or EB) was adopted. The most memorial was that participants were isolated in the forest area and got full taste of virgin Siberian nature and plenty of informal communications. Some scientist enjoyed swimming at night in Ob river. Book of conference proceedings. The report about that meeting was published5 and selected materials appeared online as full papers in Molecules6.


EAMHC-4 (Thessaloniki, August 27-31, 2006). Venue In early 2005 Prof. Athina Geronikaki from Thessaloniki (Greece) suggested to Prof. Babaev her desire to host the next event. The chosen place, Thessaloniki is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Many things there and around (during conference tours) memorized the name of Alexander the Great: the name Thessaloniki (originated from the name of his sister), the ancient city Pella (his birthplace), and the city Vergina (with fascinating grave of his farther Phillip). This link of Eurasian event to this famous figure of ancient times is especially symbolic. The Alexander's empire was one of the biggest in human history spreading from Europe to Asia, being the source of strong interaction between Hellenistic and Asian cultures.
