Professional holiday “Chemist’s Day” is annually celebrated on last Sunday of May since 1980. This year it was celebrated on May 28. There are a lot of traditions associated with this day, which each generation not only preserves but also multiplies. For example, every year the Chemist’s Day is held under the symbol of the new element of the periodic table, and the very first holiday was assigned the number 1 – hydrogen. The 37th year of the celebration corresponds to rubidium; it is a soft, fusible alkaline metal of silvery white color
Employees of the IHTE UB RAS and their families traditionally celebrated it, gathered together in the cottage near the Shartash Lake in the vicinity of Ekaterinburg. It should be noted that the fiesta was attended not only by chemists, but also by professionals from other fields: economists, energy specialists, engineers, etc.
Despite on the chilly and dank weather, a delicious barbecue in the open air, a song with a guitar and sincere conversations filled the day by warm and friendly atmosphere!
We are grateful to the labor union for the financial support, to Isakov Andrew for organizing and hosting of event and to Terehin Aleksander for his hospitality and the roof over our heads. It was very fun and cheerful!
Once again, we sincerely congratulate all specialists involved in the chemical business. We wish you novel significant discoveries, the synthesis of unique substances and the production of the necessary materials, while preserving a natural balance.
