Training courses for industrial organic chemists in Basel
In September, 3 of our well known courses will be presented in Basel, one of these has recently been accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry for providing continuing professional development to chemists:
| 26-27 Sep | Scaling from Milligrams to 1-2kg | Basel |  |
| 26-27 Sep | Safety and Selectivity in the Scale-Up of Chemical Reactions | Basel | |
| 28-30 Sep | Chemical Development & Scale-Up in the Fine Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industries | Basel | |
| Scientific Update are based in the UK but have been organising training for industrial chemists all over the world for over 25 years. We recognised the need for continuous professional development after graduation from University and have been working with many expert chemists to provide training on topics of relevance to the chemical industry – mostly Pharmaceuticals, Fine Chemicals, Agrochemicals, Speciality Chemicals and Flavour & Fragrance industries. |
