Dear Collegue,
Faculty of Chemistry, Wroclaw Univ. of Technology, Wroclaw, Poland will organize 16th IUPAC Conference „Macromolecular Complexes” in August 2015 (10-14th). The conference covers the broad spectrum of complexes between various chemical species (metal ions, metal complexes, low-molecular compounds, polymers etc. and macromolecules). Usually, it is a quite interdisciplinary meeting, bringing together people (some 100-120) working in chemistry, material science, bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry. You can find the previous conferences just by typing MMC-15 (was held in Greenville, SC, USA) in Google and see what was the scope of last four or five conferences. The web page for our conference is http://www.MMC16.pwr.edu.pl
