Foreword for the Conference “Chimia” 

     “Chimia” Conference was organized by our department starting with 2000 every three years until 2012, since it is organized every two years.

The conference’s proceedings were and continue to be published in Ovidius University Annals of Chemistry, which is indexed in Chemical Abstracts, in Index Copernicus starting with 2009 and in Polymer Library, Pirabase, Paperbase starting with 2013. From 2012 the journal is published in Versita OPEN system with de Gruyter partner. 
         At this meeting you can present your most recent research achievements and ideas. The organizers intend to create a warm and friendly atmosphere for stimulate the scientific discussions and confrontations.
         Chimia Conference is conducted at the University Ovidius of Constanta. 
         The meeting halls and poster area are designed to facilitate interactions among Conference participants.
        Constanta is the second largest city in Romania and the biggest port at the Black Sea, an important cultural and economic centre, worth exploring for its archaeological treasures and the atmosphere of the old town centre. The name of Constanta dates from the Byzantine ruling when Tomis appears in Byzantine and later Italian documents, as Constantia, after an important imperial Roman family. 
        We wish you all a fruitful conference in Constanta with many new ideas and contacts all over Europe. 

        We look forward to meet each of you at the Chimia Conference!
