The Congress is a valuable and unique opportunity for the community of world-leading chemistry professionals to meet, exchange ideas, explore the state of the art progress and debate the key issues underlying chemical science and practice. It is also where the European chemical community congregates and EuCheMS Divisions and sections showcase their research developments and plan future activities.
The scientific program for the EuCheMS congress typically includes 8 plenary lectures from world-leading scientists including Nobel Laureates, around 120 keynote and invited lecturers, over 200 oral and poster sessions with more than 2,000 peer’s communications.
The Scientific program will be structured in horizontal major themes that include significant contributions to research at the forefront of chemical sciences in all areas related to chemistry; analytical, engineering, inorganic, physical, theoretical, biological, materials and technology. EuCheMS 2016 main themes will be:

| The European Chemistry Congresses (ECC) are the most prominent events for the European chemistry community. They constitute a joint endeavour of the national chemical society and the EuCheMS Divisions and Working Parties. Chemists from all parts of Europe come together to present and discuss the latest achievements in cutting edge chemical sciences. There is no other occasion where chemists from different countries, different areas of chemistry and different professional backgrounds can converge in one place. The ECC are unique forums to foster transnational dialogue and collaboration, to encourage the dialogue between the different branches of chemistry, to bring academia, industry and decision makers together and to emphasize the impact of chemistry and chemical research on our society. Special attention is given to all activities which help promote the careers of young scientists. A high level Scientific Committee ensures the highest possible quality of the scientific contributions with a regionally and thematically balanced program of exciting cutting edge chemistry. |

Werner Prize 2016 awarded to Prof. Maksym Kovalenko
On the occasion of the SCS Spring Meeting at University of Zurich on April 22, 2016, the Swiss Chemical Society awarded the Werner Prize 2016 to Prof. Maksym Kovalenko, ETH Zurich and EMPA Dübendorf, for his innovative studies in the chemistry, physics and applications of inorganic nanostructures.
The Werner Prize honors a Swiss scientist or scientist working in Switzerland under the age of 40 for outstanding independent chemical research and consists of a medal in bronze and a cash check of CHF 10'000.
Maksym Kovalenko studied chemistry at Chernivtsi National University, Ukraine. He received his Ph.D. in nanoscience and nanotechnology from the Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria, in 2007. From 2008 to 2011, he performed postdoctoral research on colloidal nanostructures with Dmitri Talapin at the University of Chicago, IL, USA. Since 2011, Kovalenko has been Assistant Professor of Inorganic Functional Materials at ETH Zurich and affiliates with the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology.

Review and Photos SCS Spring Meeting 2016
On Friday, April 22, 2016 the SCS Spring Meeting 2016 took place at University of Zurich. Five experts gave an insight view of "Green Chemistry" during their lecture and stimulated the discussion about possible and impossible developments of sustainability in our life in general and the chemistry around us in particular.
The SCS President, Alain De Mesmaeker, also awarded the Werner Prize 2016 to Maksym Kovalenko, ETHZ and EMPA Dübendorf, for his innovative studies in the chemistry, physics and applications of inorganic nanostructures.
