Balticum Organicum Syntheticum Conferences (BOS) has taken place in each Baltic capital since 2000:
2000, 2002, 2008- Vilnius, Lithuania
2004, 2010- Riga, Latvia
2006- Tallinn, Estonia

The programme and format of BOS is composed of two primary formats: plenary lectures by a distinguished roster of Baltic and international speakers, and poster sessions held in a congenial atmosphere to stimulate discussion. We aim for a balanced program of academic and industrial speakers presenting fundamental and practical aspects of organic synthesis.

Our Goals:

• Provide a forum for organic synthetic chemists from the entire world to speak of their work and discuss important scientific problems.
• Promote discussion between academic and industrial scientists about the possibilities of mutual cooperation;
• Present a unique cultural, linguistic and social experience for participants and accompanying persons. 

Each conference has seen outstanding scientists: Ryoji Noyori and Albert Eschenmoser in 2002, Barry Sharpless and Robert H. Grubbs in 2002, KC Nicolaou and David MacMillan in 2004, and Scott Denmark and Hisashi Yamamoto in 2006, Dieter Seebach, John F. Hartwig and other illustrious chemists in 2008.
