This Research Front comprises a series of papers by authors from the 12th Eurasia Conference (EuAsC2S-12) on Chemical Sciences. While all previous conferences have been held in Asia or the Middle East, EuAsC2S-12 took place at the Hotel Corfu Chandris on the island of Corfu, Greece, from 16 to 21 April 2012 with the aim of encouraging and enhancing the participation of European scientists, thus helping to make the conferences more widely known.
