Welcome to the 2017 Fall Meeting of the Swiss Chemical Society!
We are pleased to invite you to the SCS Fall Meeting, the largest annual scientific event held in Switzerland. Given its increased size and popularity, the meeting was extended to an event of one and a half days to better accommodate the one thousand participants, and to also offer new platforms. We are happy and proud to present you a fantastic and diversified program with contributions from academia and industry in all fields of chemistry.
The SCS Fall Meeting offers a unique opportunity for all members of the community to share the results of their research initiatives. It also stimulates the exchange of ideas between all generations of chemists, often creating the seeds for new projects and collaborations.
