BOSS XVIII - 30/6 - 5/7, 2024: Save the date |
|
|
The BOSS-conference is a unique international symposium as it combines lectures delivered by established organic chemists, as well as, by younger rising stars with two prestigious events: a lecture delivered by the recipient of the “Janssen Prize for Creativity in Organic Synthesis”, and the “Tetrahedron Chair”: a one-day course on a specific topic in organic synthesis.
BOSS covers a broad range of timely topics of modern organic synthesis, including asymmetric synthesis, chemical biology, electrosynthesis, medicinal chemistry, organocatalysis, organometallic chemistry and catalysis, photocatalysis, reaction mechanisms, reactive intermediates, supramolecular chemistry, sustainable chemistry, total synthesis… and many more!

Vlaamse Olympiades voor Natuurwetenschappen: Inschrijvingen geopend! |
|
|
Leerlingen uit de tweede en derde graad secundair onderwijs kunnen zich inschrijven voor de Vlaamse Olympiades voor Natuurwetenschappen. Deze “Olympische” wedstrijden hebben als doelstelling leerlingen te motiveren en te stimuleren om zich verder in de natuurwetenschappen te verdiepen. De finalisten en medaillewinnaars krijgen mooie prijzen. Tevens worden de beste laureaten afgevaardigd om Vlaanderen te verdedigen tijdens de Internationale Olympiades. In 2024 gaan ze voor aardrijkskunde naar Ierland, voor biologie naar Kazachstan, voor chemie naar Saoedi Arabië en voor fysica naar Iran (indien positief reisadvies).
