Promotion of Applied Physical Chemistry in areas such as physical and chemical pharmacy, organic and inorganic chemistry, biophysics and biochemistry, crystallography, as well as material sciences.
  

The society promotes all scientific, theoretical and technical perceptions in the above mentioned areas, such as chemical thermodynamics, thermal analysis, calorimetry, titration calorimetry and biochemical binding studies, spectroscopy as well as microscopy.
  

Interactions in applied research between scientists working at universities, scientific and technical institutes and researchers from the chemical industry.
  

Creation of a scientific network.
  

Promotion of a continuous education in specialized areas by organizing conferences and meetings.
  

Information and presentation about the newest instrumental developments, methods and evaluation procedures.
  

In 1992, eurostar-science was founded in Munich, Germany by a nucleus of scientists as the European Society for Applied Physical Chemistry with the goals mentioned above. Most of the Foundation Members are still today members of the board. 
At this time the main question brought up especially by a number of opponents was: Do we need another scienitfic society? It was a difficult question and the Foundation Members had been rather concerned about it. Today, in 2003, having organized and realized almost every year an International Scientific Conference, we are convinced, that our decision was the right one. The outstanding achievements were as follows:
 

the unorthodox work of the steering committee allows fast decisions free from bias
 

the development of a specific network with contacts to active scientists selected only by their scientific achievements in segments anticipated by eurostar-science.
 

the promotion of collaborations between scientists active at universities and in the chemical industry, mainly in the area of life sciences.
