Sonderkolloquium "Synthetic Chemistry @ Munich"

October 10, 2023, Munich, Germany

Join us on the 10th of October for a full-day Symposium on Synthetic Chemistry, jointly organized by the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and Merck Life Science KGaA with the collaboration of the MChG. The event, featuring scientific talks given by invited experts, will delve into the latest trends and discoveries in Synthetic Chemistry. We will also announce the winner of the European Retrosynthesis Competition. Don't miss out on this chance to enrich your knowledge and network with like-minded professionals in the industry.

The event is free of charge but requires registration, and it will take place at the Buchner Hörsaal, in building F of the Faculty for Chemistry and Pharmacy of the LMU in Munich Großhadern (access via Butenandtstraße, Feodor-Lynen-Straße, or Würmtalstraße).
