Analyzing, Understanding and Predicting Organic Reactivity

Physical organic chemistry focusses on the understanding how structure affects the reactivity of organic molecules. Physical organic principles are applied to many different fields, making the rational design of chemical properties a conceivable. This conference focusses on experimental, spectroscopic and theoretical approaches to understand old and new organic reactions. The scientific areas covered include bioorganic chemistry, catalysis, functional materials, reactivity at interfaces, new methods, reactive intermediates and supramolecular systems. The invited speakers from different fields will provide an interdisciplinary environment to discuss current challenges for the understanding on how organic reactions and organic functional systems work. The combination of established leaders in their fields and up-and-coming researchers as speakers will provide the traditionally informal and highly interactive environment for discussions across fields of study. We encourage all participants to present their newest and unpublished results. The poster sessions are highly interactive and no abstracts are required. Short talks are selected from the posters for the last evening session of the conference and these talks are one of the highlights of the conference.
