The SCS Fall Meeting is one of the largest annual research conferences held in Switzerland. For the first time, the Fall Meeting takes place as an online conference to fulfill the regulations of the government and to facilitate safe exchange of scientific information.
For generations of young chemists educated in Switzerland, the Fall Meeting has been a great platform to present their research – often for the first time ever at a major conference- and to be inspired by the people one gets to meet.

We received more than 400 abstracts for a short talk or a virtual poster in one of the nine sessions.
Registration to join the conference is mandatory and gives you access to the virtual meeting rooms (Zoom platform). Registration is still open and is free for SCS Members.
