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.

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 6th European Congress of Chemistry (EuCheMS 2016) in Seville, Spain, 11th-15th 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 6th 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
14.00 | Welcome Patrick Matthias, President Forum for Genetic Research |
14.05 | Studying life from the bottom-up: the new approaches of synthetic biology Jan Roelof van der Meer, University of Lausanne |
14.25 | Bio LOGIC, intracellular computing using dCas9 EPFL iGEM Team 2015 representatives |
14.40 | Round table discussion |
