The Chemistry Department held its first conference on November 11th, 1995. The main objective of the symposium is to allow specialists to cultivate the Hungarian terminology of chemistry, and to allow teachers, researchers, students and engineers to meet, present and discuss the latest issues in their field. Since the year 2001, more and more participants arrive from abroad, such as Canada, The Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland and Hungary, which fosters information exchange as well as international cooperation with various organizations and associations in the field of chemistry. Since 2002, the conference allows talented students to present their topics of interest in the Student Posters section, while from the year 2005, the Plenary Session for Doctoral Students allows young scholars to report on their research.
