Congresses & Symposia

Atomic and molecular architectures on surfaces exhibit distinct quantum properties. Their reproducible manufacturing is gaining momentum and goes far beyond the single atom and the single spin. This is due to recent experimental breakthroughs and, on the other hand, due to increasing demand from other research areas, in particular quantum science/technology and quantum computing.

BioTechX is Europe’s largest congress covering diagnostics, precision medicine and digital transformation in pharmaceutical development and healthcare.

The event series with 1-2 events per year at Swiss universities enables students and PhDs to get an insight into process chemistry. Besides teaching the basics, an illustrative example from industry is discussed.

We are delighted to welcome you on the website of the SwissSnowSymposium 2023, which will take place from 20^thto 22^th January 2023. The 19^th edition of this traditional symposium will be hold in once more in Saas-Fee and provides an innovative platform for young chemists to present their work and to exchange their experience.
A well balanced mix between lectures, short talks and poster session as well as get-togethers at the hotel bar and snow fun activities on the slopes of the Allalin-Mountain guarantee a unique experience of science and fun.

The SICS is a one-day symposium with lectures, short talks and offers a unique platform for industrial scientists, working in research and process research, to present their latest results. The event will be completed with a poster session in which PhD students can also participate.

The goal of this two-day conference series is to stimulate a stronger interaction among persons working in different areas of analytical sciences. Scientists from applied and fundamental research, from industry, education, and regulation are welcome.

As the most important joint conference of German, Austrian and Swiss analytical chemistry, ANAKON 2023 offers the opportunity for scientific exchange between analysts from the German-speaking region - but also beyond.

The Swiss Chemical Society Spring Meeting is a one day symposium and provides a high quality program with national and international speakers of a certain topic. The topic of the 2023 symposium is «Chemistry and Physics of the Atmosphere».

The objective of this biennial conference is to regularly provide our members and other interested chemists working in process development and production with opportunities for professional training and networking.
This year's topic: «From Lab to Industrial Application - Trends/Innovation in Process Chemistry & Technology»

The main objective of this congress is to bring researchers together to discuss the progress of operando methodologies, i.e. characterization of functional materials in their working state.

The ‘SCS Conference on Stereochemistry’, better known as ‘Bürgenstock Conference’, is an outstanding international chemistry meeting of high scientific quality, with an optimal setting for intense inter-disciplinary discussion.
