Swiss Summer School 2019: «Trends in Organic Synthesis»

The Swiss Summer Schools, also referred to as Villars Summer Schools, are one-week out-of-town course/conference-type events for MSc, PhD and postdoctoral students with a focus on selected topics.

They offer a platform for the active scientific exchange between students and lecturers, and between the participants themselves. The students are expected to actively be involved by presenting a poster or a short communication on their research.

Researchers from industry as well as students from abroad are most welcome to participate.
