Dutch Symposium on Organic Chemistry

De Sectie Organische Chemie van de KNCV organiseert elk even jaar een tweedaags internationaal symposium met sprekers van wereldformaat en elk oneven jaar tweedaags nationaal symposium.

De onderwerpen beslaan het hele gebied van de organische chemie vanaf de grens met de biologie tot aan die met materiaalkunde en de volle kracht van de organische chemie zien in zowel het synthetische hart van het vakgebied als in de verwante disciplines. De genodigde sprekers zijn allen sterke vertegenwoordigers van hun vakgebied en kunnen een bron van inspiratie zijn voor alle organisch chemici.
