Research as an Ongoing Development Perspective 2022

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue "Research as an ongoing development perspective" is dedicated to the 5th Conference in Chemistry for Graduate, Postgraduate Students, and PhD candidates in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (https://websites.auth.gr/5chemauth/info-in-english/) with all the herein presented articles to be the outcome of the research activities of the young chemists in Northern Greece.

The scope of this 5th conference that is going to be held on 2-3 April 2022 in Thessaloniki, Greece, is to give the young colleagues and the graduate students the opportunity to prepare and practice themselves for the next steps in their career development, and to meet the requirements of a demanding professional environment. Moreover, it sets the ground for their active engagement and the space to highlight both their research activity and their presentation skills in front of a large audience. Moreover, their direct involvement in the organization of the conference is aiming to strengthen their organization, management and communication skills, all marked as “asset-skills” by most of the high-profile employers. Last but not least and based on our previous experience, this conference acts as a “catalyst” in order for the young chemists to interact with each other around scientific interests and in addition helps in building more active research communities.  

The conference is organized by the:

• School of Chemistry of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH)
• Association of Greek Chemists-Division of Central and Western Macedonia (AGC-DCWM)
• Association of Chemists in Northern Greece
