EuCheM Congress: Important Reminder Call for Abstracts

On behalf of EuCheMS, ANQUE and all the Spanish societies involved in the organisation of this EuCheMS Congress, you are warmly invited to the 6^th European Congress of Chemistry (EuCheMS 2016) in Seville, Spain, 11^th-15^th September, 2016.

Plans are already developing to have a wonderful celebration of Chemistry, the science that most enhances the everyday lives for every one of us, in all its facets. Plenary, Invited and Contributed lectures will bring you up to date in all topical areas of modern fundamental and applied Chemistry and will be offered by some of Europe’s and the world’s most distinguished Chemists.

You too can participate! There will be plenty opportunities for contributed papers and posters. Guidelines, information for authors, submissions, themes, topics, sessions and important dates are published and detailed in... Read more

Access the Abstract submission form available on line.

Submission Deadline: April 1, 2016

You can find all information at the web page: http://euchems-seville2016.eu/

Let us use this opportunity to make the 6^th European Chemical Congress the best yet!

Research breakthroughs and social impact: Young scientists debate synthetic biology

Research breakthroughs and social impact: Young scientists debate synthetic biology
Tuesday, February 16,2016, 12:30–16:00
Amphipôle, University of Lausanne.

Emerging technologies have the potential to offer new solutions for society’s challenges but also raise concerns about safety and ethical implications. Synthetic biology is a maturing discipline aiming to modify, rebuild and design biological systems. Possible applications include production of biofuels in microalgae, synthesis of therapeutics in yeast cells or removal of pollutants’ from the environment using bacteria.

How will synthetic biology transform – medicine? – the environment? – industry? – society? – our concept of life?

Young scientists will explore these questions together with the audience. All are welcome to join in on the discussion!

Program

This session will be held in English. Participation is free of charge. For further information and registration: www.naturalsciences.ch/synbio2016

Presented by the Forum for Genetic Research, Swiss Academy of Sciences in association with the BIO•FICTION Science, Art & Film Festival and Life Sciences Switzerland LS2.
This event is part of the LS2 Annual Meeting 2016. http://ls2-annual-meeting.ch
