Between Sunday, July 6 and Thursday, July 10 the XXVI European Conference on Organometallic Chemistry (EuCOMC) 2025 took place at university of Bern. Chaired by Prof. Eva Hevia and Prof. Martin Albrecht, the participants could enjoy 27 invited and keynote lectures as well as 62 short talks. During the two poster sessions 190 posters were presented and invited the community to interact and exchange the latest research data and new ideas.
