Bernd's 77 Birthday Symposium, June 2, 2017
Bernd's Symposium
Symposium to celebrate the
77th birthday of Prof. Bernd Giese
June 2, 2017,
University of Fribourg, Departement of Chemistry, main auditorium 0.013
On June 2nd 2017, Bernd Giese, one of Switzerland’s top chemists, will turn 77. On this occasion, the Department of Chemistry of the University of Fribourg organizes a birthday symposium around organic chemistry with focus on bio-organic and physical organic chemistry, reuniting many of Bernd Giese’s scientific offsprings as well as other internationally well recognized speakers. This symposium will offer an attractive programme to chemists in Switzerland as well as across borders.

International Symposium on Metal Complexes (ISMEC 2017)
Initiated in 1974, ISMEC has become years after years a well-established series of international conferences focusing on the study and applications of metal complexes in the fields of analytical, biomedical, environmental, supramolecular, inorganic, physical, and industrial chemistry.
Hosted in 2017 for the first time in France, the 44th edition of ISMEC aims at providing an outstanding forum for sharing new ideas and discussing the most recent advances on the thermodynamics and kinetics of coordination processes. By gathering researchers from both academia and industry, ISMEC 2017 seeks to foster new collaborations among researchers from diverse backgrounds with complementary skills and goals.
Dates: June 11-15, 2017
Lieu: University of Burgundy, DIJON-France

Save the date: We Scientists shape Science, Jan 26-27, 2017
Science has become a lot bigger and faster. Join us now to make it better!
We want science to be creative, solid, open, helpful for society and a good career oppurtunity for the talented youth. Let’s start to change what it means the be a scientist and the way and the framework in which science is conducted. It is us scientists who need to change science. Researchers and key players in the Swiss science landscape will decide upon first steps at the meeting. It is time for doing science right.
