Dear Colleague, We are pleased to invite you to participate in the VIII International Conference “Mechanisms of Catalytic Reactions” (MCR-2009) to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the birth of Professor Kirill I. Zamaraev. The MCR-Conference is organized under the auspices of the European Federation of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS). The Conference will be held in Novosibirsk (Russia) on June 29 - July 2, 2009. Chairmen: Valentin N. Parmon Valerii V. Lunin Professor Kirill Ilyich Zamaraev (1939-1996) was one of the pre-eminent physical chemists of his generation. His main field of interest was the application of new physicochemical techniques to the investigation of mechanisms of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic reactions. He was among the pioneers of NMR spectroscopic investigations of key catalytic intermediates and widely employed a range of physical methods such as solid state NMR, EXAFS and scanning tunneling microscopy. Professor Zamaraev has made a considerable contribution to the establishment of relationships between fundamental and applied areas of catalysis through his interest in the structure of active sites at the atomic and molecular level. He used his fundamental knowledge and capacity for innovative characterization for the search for new unconventional areas of catalysis. An extraordinary scientist, talented teacher and statesman, Professor Zamaraev served as the Director of the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis (1984-1995), and the President of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (1994-1995).

BAIKAL TOUR Time in tour, including travel by train: July 2 evening – July 7, morning . You are filled with a rare spiritual feeling at the Baikal shore, as if touched by eternity and perfection. You are marked by the event of inhaling this air and of drinking this water. Nowhere else you will feel this desired unity with nature as if penetrating into its heart".                                                                Valentine Rasputin

BAIKAL TOUR SCHEDULE (in Russian)

Baikal is one of the most famous lakes in the world! Despite its ancient age, which is 25 million years, Baikal is the most precious Siberian pearl shining in the frame of beautiful mountain ranges Khamar-Daban, Primorskii, Baikalskii and Bargusinskii. In 1997 UNESCO declared the lake as a part of World Wide Heritage due to its unique features. Baikal is the deepest lake in the world (its deepest point is 1637 m) with surprisingly transparent emerald green water (its transparency attains 40 meters). Baikal is the largest reservoir of the purest fresh water with exclusive taste. Water deposit is 23000 cubic meters, which is one fifth of all fresh water stored on the planet Earth. Baikal is breathtakingly beautiful. Its flora and fauna comprise 2635 species that by 75% are relict. The most known Baikal “superstars” are seal and omul.
