About event
The famous Conference on Isoprenoids that was established originally as the Polish-Czechoslovak forum of natural products chemists by Professors Marian Kocór, Vaclav Černý, Vlastimil Herout, Jozef Tomko, and their co-workers. The conference fulfilled an important role in integrating European chemists.
The “Isoprenoids” forum became quickly known as one of the pioneering channels in the 1960s and 1970s that surmounted the very high Arrhenius barrier, “The Iron Curtain”, that restricted contacts between chemists on either side of this barrier. The Conference later evolved into a forum that brought “isoprenoid folk” together with as many specialists as possible from broadly connected fields of research to promote practical uses of isoprenoid science and information dissemination.
