THE CASE OF THE SUPRAMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY (1987-2005) Marianne Noel *1 ABSTRACT The University of Strasbourg is the birthplace of a research specialty (supramo- lecular chemistry or SMC) which has grown considerably in the last 40 years and has had a significant scientific impact. The emergence of SMC was orchestrated to a large extent by Nobel laureate Jean-Marie Lehn, but a network of scientists, as well as the University and the Alsace Region, were also key players in this regard.

Introduction If universities are to retain their central relevance to society, to the they must adapt their programs to the needs of the 21st century. Students must be educated to be effective citizens Graduate and leaders in a diverse and highly globalized world. University administrators and faculty must take leadership University in providing sustainable solutions to planet-threatening problems such as climate change, the energy supply, and human health, food and water shortages. The engine of Faculty true innovation, basic research with long-term R&D objectives, is arguably the most powerful tool for solving these problems. OIST Graduate University is at the forefront of creating change in how research and education are practiced. We hire world-leading faculty and we give them substantial support and considerable freedom to pursue basic research. By avoiding traditional administrative and physical bound- aries, and by creating easy access for people to each other and to research equipment, we have established a very open and intimate environment which naturally pro- motes cross-disciplinary education and research. We are training a new breed of students and young researchers to become future leaders in the global world of academia and/or industry—young talent that is receiving strong disciplinary training while additionally being exposed to a truly multidisciplinary experience that challenges them to bridge the boundaries between the physical and life sciences.

  • Forty Years on a History of the Heterocyclic Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry
    RSC Heterocyclic Group ARKIVOC 2007 (xi) 1-22 The First Forty Years of the Heterocyclic Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry Professor Emeritus Gurnos Jones, School of Physical and Geographical Sciences, Lennard-Jones Laboratories, Keele University, Staffordshire, ST5 5BB, U.K. In 1967 the idea of specialist subject groups was comparatively new. To test the waters, Professor A.R. Katritzky and Dr. G. Jones held a meeting at Keele University at which 125 chemists voted to propose to the Chemical Society Council the formation of a Subject group for those interested in the study of heterocyclic compounds, hereafter called the Heterocyclic Group. The proposal was accepted by the Council on the 5th April, 1967, a committee was formed, with Professor Alan Katritzky as Chairman and Dr. Gurnos Jones as Secretary/Treasurer, and a first half-day meeting held before the main Autumn meeting of the Chemical Society in Durham on 19th September. Much more detail is given in the article on the history of the group which is the first article in this issue of Arkivoc, but the Group has been an enormous success with an average of four meetings (one day and longer) each year. A pattern soon developed with a meeting in London in January, and a meeting at an industrial site in the summer. Industry, particularly the pharmaceutical industry has from the first been very supportive. In early years the group used one day during the Autumn Meeting of the Chemical Society (later the Royal Society of Chemistry), but in later years this has been replaced by a meeting with postgraduate student presentations, of very high quality.The first longer meeting was held in Grasmere in the Lake District, organised by Dr.

    16 Matti Aarnio and Kalle Romanov University of Helsinki, Finland Use of Scientific Information Resources among Medical and Dental Students Aims: The aim of the study was to survey how original resources of scientific information are utilized by medical and dental students in the Medical Faculty of the University of Helsinki. The students of the faculty were asked to assess their frequency of use of electronic information resources and software. Additionally they were inquired the accessibility of resources. The results of the survey are being used to develop the support for and training of the use of information and communication technology in research-based teaching and studying in the faculty. Data: The data were collected in November 2004 by using electronic self assessment questionnaire via electronic form, which contained both multiple choice and open ended questions. The survey was addressed to 924 students, of which 418 (45.2%) responded to it during the survey period of two weeks. Two reminder messages were used to promote the response. Findings: 23.6% of the students searched information from Medline for their studies twice a month or more frequently. 30.4% searched information from Medline for their own scientific work twice a month or more. 41.6% of the students never used original electronic medical articles in their studies. 12.0% of the students utilized nor Medline or original articles. The results show that the students use original scientific materials only to a moderate extent. Contact: Research & Development Unit for Medical Education of the University of Helsinki Maija Aksela University of Helsinki, Finland Research-based Chemistry Teacher Education Within the Department of Chemistry, the Centre for Chemistry Education has subject- matter responsibility for preparing chemistry teachers and also elementary teachers, conducting research in chemical education, and co-operating with schools and other units of teacher education at the University.
