European-Winter School on Physical Organic Chemistry - E-WiSPOC 2018

The European-Winter School on Physical Organic Chemistry (E-WiSPOC),
at its 12th edition, constitutes an unique opportunity to gain
expertise in the field of Organic Chemistry. If you are interested in
WHY and not only HOW chemical reactions proceed you MUST attend this
School. If you consider Physical Organic Chemistry an obsolete discipline you are wrong: it is more alive than ever!

In assessing research in Chemistry in the UK

in 2003 the international advisory panel has strongly recommended to
increase investment in Physical Organic Chemistry as the
discipline that started as “the application of quantitative tools taken
(historically) from physical chemistry to the solution of problems in
mechanisms or in understanding properties has evolved to complex
molecular problems, and is now being applied in studying catalysis,
biochemistry, photochemistry, reactivity in the vapour phase, surface
science, materials sciences, and other areas”. Indeed, when
considering a nice article on molecular biology, drug design,
nanosytems, catalysis we observe that the experimental interpretation is
based on a Physical-Organic-Chemistry approach.

The School is part of the Organic Division of the Italian Chemical Society, which also provides some fellowships for young partecipants.

INSTM, the Italian National Interuniversity
Consortium of Materials Science and Technology offers 1 fellowship (for
INSTM members), as well.

The topic of the 2018 edition is Soft Matter: fundamentals, concepts and applications.

WHEN AND WHERE

The 2018 edition of the European-Winter School on Physical Organic Chemistry (E-WISPOC 2018) will take place in Bressanone (Italy) on January 28 - February 2, 2018. The School will be held at GruenerBaum Hotel where lecturers and students will be also accommodated in a friendly environment.

FELLOWSHIPS

Fellowships are available for young partecipants.

AWARDS

Prizes will be awarded to the best poster presentations
