Croatian Meetings of Chemists and Chemical Engineers have a long history of hosting distinguished scientists as plenary lecturers. During last fifty years we were honored by talks given by many Nobel laureates, like V. Prelog, R. Huber, J.-M. Lehn, R. Ernst, A. Yonath and D. Shechtman as well as many other world known scientist, such as P. W. Atkins, G. Baldi, B. Delmon, B. Feringa, J. R. Flower, G. F. Froment, L. Riekert, D. W. T. Rippin, E. U. Schlunder, K. Schugerl, K. B. Wiberg, M. Zlokarnik and many others. Our distinguished plenary lecturers were also R. Darton, R. Gani and J. M. Le Lann.

The full-length papers of scientific contributions presented at the Meeting will be gladly considered for the publication in the following journals: Croatica Chemica Acta, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly and Food Technology and Biotechnology.

In addition to the scientific program, the enchanting town Veli Lošinj will ensure our guests and participants to enjoy the beauties of typical Primorje’ sceneries of north coastal Croatian island Lošinj. Veli Lošinj, the real pearl of Mediterranean, is located on the Adriatic coast only 50 km from Rijeka airport and in close vicinity are airports of Zagreb, Trieste and Pula.
