To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Casale in collaboration with the Section Catalysis of the Swiss Chemical Society (SwissCat) is launching a new series of online mini symposia. Interested researchers from all over the world are cordially invited to participate and to learn about the latest developments in the fields of homogeneous, heterogeneous and bio-catalysis.

  

 

The first event takes place as follows:

Casale-Mini Symposium #1, 2021
online event via zoom, June 8, 2021
13:30-16:30
«Overview on research in the field of CO2 capture, storage and utilization»

The industry will have to reduce carbon emissions, reaching the net zero target in the next decades. At the same time industry will have to continue producing carbon containing molecules and products with  zero emissions. This is a challenging goal that need to be achieved developing the utilization of CO2 within a new carbon cycle. Casale believes that the development of novel highly-efficient technologies that aim at fully decarbonized industry can be achieved together with Universities in strict scientific collaborations.

We are pleased to invite you to the SCS Fall Meeting 2021, one of the largest annual research conferences held in Switzerland. For the second time, the Fall Meeting takes place as an online conference.

For generations of young chemists educated in Switzerland, the Fall Meeting has been a great platform to present their research – often for the first time ever at a major conference – and to be inspired by the people you get to meet.

As a presenter you automatically participate in the renowned Best Presentation Award Program. More than CHF 42’000 CHF in total are given to the winners in monetary form, travel grants or free publication opportunities in the Junior Laureates issue of CHIMIA 4/2022.

Program Highlights:

  • Award lectures of SCS price winners 2021
  • Interactive, virtual poster session (during the whole week)
  • Nine thematic parallel sessions with key note lectures and 15min PhD presentations
  • Best oral and best virtual poster presentation award ceremony

Topics of the parallel sessions are:

  • Analytical Sciences
  • Catalysis Science & Engineering
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Inorganic & Coordination Chemistry
  • Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology
  • Organic Chemistry
