Varazdin is one of the oldest European cities with first mentions dating back as far as the 12th century and tales of an even earlier roman city at its place. It is a place of great tradition and often referred to as "little Vienna" for its many balls, classical concerts and world famous festivals. Another significant acknowledgement is Varazdin's planned inscription on UNESCO's World Heritage List ensuring the city's protection and preservation in years to come. The permanent feature of culture in the city of Varazdin is due to the activities of the Catholic church, particularly Franciscan brothers, the Urshuline sisters, the Paulists and Jesuits: in the city churches there can be found some of the most valuable works of Baroque art in Croatia. We cannot omit mentioning that it is here that the first grammar school was founded, almost at the same time as the one in Zagreb.

The aspects of the CECM-2 meeting included an overview of the Central European contribution to hot topics, especially in computational chemistry, supramolecular structures, modelling, catalysis, combinatorial chemistry, spectroscopy, etc. The conference was also open for discussions about input in chemical research (financing, manpower), output (publication, productivity, impact), distribution of research subjects, education, etc.
