In the year 2009, the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, will celebrate 50th anniversary of its foundation. This is the very occasion to contemplate current trends in macromolecular science from the view of challenges of science and technology for the 21st century. The meeting shall bring together a diverse group of researchers to discuss general physical, chemical and biological issues of macromolecular systems and let them to evaluate the current role and future prospects of macromolecular science. Starting from macromolecular concepts that can contribute to understanding of processes occurring in living matter, following with principles, on which new bio-inspired materials might be designed, to analysis of physical processes governing molecular and supramolecular organization in macromolecular systems and to new concepts for development of polymers for technology advancement. The meeting will focus on the state of the art theoretical and methodological developments in macromolecular science, however, it will be opened to new hypotheses, emerging ideas and new approaches to experimental methods and design as well. It will provide a unique opportunity for meeting researchers and colleagues in interdisciplinary fields of macromolecular science, and enjoy the exchange of ideas in the inspiring environment of Prague.
