ChemCYS' 15th edition will take place from 19 to 21 February, 2020 in Blankenberge (Belgium). Our conference gives young attendees the opportunity to present early results of their research. Topics are focussed on the typical research domains in chemistry. The best oral and poster presentation of each session will be awarded. A detailed programme for the 2020 edition of ChemCYS will be published soon. But we can already announce our three plenary speakers: - Prof. Dr Sarah E. O'Connor The University of East Anglia, School of Chemistry, Norwich, UK; Planck Institute of Chemical Ecology, Germany - Prof. Dr Javier García Martínez Director of the Molecular Nanotechnology Lab at the University of Alicante, Spain; Founder and Chief Scientist of Rive Technology Inc, Boston MA, USA - Prof. Dr Krzysztof Matyjaszewski Prof. Dr Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, J. C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences and Director, Center for Macromolecular Engineering ChemCYS also features KaféCV, our entrance level networking event where participants get to know various companies and their recruitment policies. Unlike traditional job events, KaféCV focusses on career development rather than existing vacancies.
