Balticum Organicum Syntheticum (BOS) has become an internationally recognized organic chemistry conference, held biennially in the capitals of the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. In 2022, BOS will celebrate its 22nd anniversary conference in the city where it all began two decades ago – Vilnius, Lithuania.

After nearly twenty years, the excitement of sharing chemical discoveries by the international community at BOS remains ever so strong. Since its inception, the BOS conference programme and format consists of 1) plenary lectures by distinguished international speakers and three Baltic speakers and 2) poster sessions held in a most congenial and discussion-stimulating atmosphere. BOS2022 will also include 15 min short talks by younger scientists. The BOS conferences are renowned for their balance of academic and industrial talks, presenting the fundamental and practical aspects of organic chemistry.


BOS 2022, Vilnius is an international conference on organic synthesis. The BOS conference main aims have remained unchanged during this long nineteen years history:

  • to convey the excitement of synthetic organic chemistry as practiced in industry and universities worldwide;
  • to promote interactions between chemists of different countries in order to create links, collaborations, common research projects in both, academic and industrial settings.

Programme and format

  • invited lectures by a distinguished roster of Baltic and international speakers;
  • a balanced program of academic and industrial speakers presenting fundamental and practical aspects of organic synthesis;
  • poster sessions held in a congenial atmosphere to stimulate discussion;
  • a full social programme with a reception, final banquet and city tours.

CONFERENCE FEEDBACK

For me, the best things about BOS conference are the following: - it has really high quality speakers, as on most years, there has been at least one Nobel prizer giving a lecture - the atmosphere of the conference is always pleasant and not too formal, so students have the opportunity to meet great professors in person - there are many speakers from industry, which is not common for a conference.

Ms Kristin Lippur

Participant

This was my second BOS, I attended the 2010 one in Riga and what I love the most about the conference is the atmosphere for open discussions after the presentations. That allows not only professors, but also interested grad students to ask questions to some of the biggest names in the field. I definitely took my chance, as I had the opportunity to speak to every single speaker personally. And as for going forward, I'll try to be a recurrent participant after I'm done with my PhD.

Janis Jermaks

Participant

I have to say that I really enjoyed the conference from both scientific and personal points of view. There were many great lectures which gave me a big doze of inspiration and motivation. It was also great chance for me keep in touch with Polish scientific community who attended the conference. Besides that I will definitely remember this unique atmosphere and good sense of humour. I hope that I will be able to participate in the next conference in Tallinn.
