8th Analytical Russian-German-Ukrainian Symposium

Hamburg, 31st Aug – 5th Sept 2003

- In Memory of Prof. J. G. Yudelevich –

Scientific program

It is the primary goal of the symposium to provide a platform especially for young analytical scientists (students, PhD students, postdocs) from Russia and the Ukraine to meet colleagues from Western Europe, mainly from Germany.
This conference offers the chance to learn from each other about scientific activities and mutual skills, modern analytical methods and instrumentation in various applications, to discuss and solve current analytical problems and to establish personal contacts, partnerships and new relationships.
 

ARGUS was initiated and first organized by Prof. Josif G. Yudelevich and his coworkers in 1992 and was held at the Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk-Akademgorodok. Subsequent symposia took place in Hirschegg (1993), Klimentovo (1994), Sovrino (1996), Düsseldorf (1997), Odessa (1999) and Baikalsk (2001).

The 8th symposium in this series continues the more than 10 year tradition of conferences on Analytical Chemistry held alternately in Russia, Germany and Ukraine in honour of Prof. Yudelevich, who died in 1993. ARGUS 2003 is organised by: GKSS Research Centre, Geesthacht, Germany.

Invited lecturers
Prod. Dr. A. Golloch, University of Duisburg, Germany
Dr. N. Bings, University of Hamburg, Germany
Dr. P. Hoffmann, TU Darmstadt, Germany
Dr. A. Grigorjevich Revenko, Russia
Dr. L. P. Eksperidova, Ukraine

More than 30 young scientists from Russia, the Ukraine and western Europe with expertise in the different fields of Analytics have already accepted invitations to deliver plenary and invited lectures in the different sessions and a detailed list is provided in this circular.
