Previously known as the Blue Danube Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry, this esteemed event has a rich history dating back to the year 1991. Over the past three decades, this symposium has been organized in various cities in Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia. It is with great pride that we announce the hosting 21st Blue Danube Symposium on Heterocycles in Chemistry Conference at University of Győr, Győr, Hungary, June 21-24, 2026.

One might be wondering, why to change the name after 33 years? The answer is simple: as chemistry evolves, so must our approach. The name change is not merely symbolic; it signifies our commitment to evolving the conference concept to better serve the scientific community. We aim to broaden the conference’s appeal, welcoming scientists from diverse fields—medicinal chemistry, biological chemistry, material chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and beyond—whose chemistry might not be fully focused on heterocyclic chemistry, but the pivotal role of heterocycles in their work is recognized.
