Proceedings of the Merck Young Chemists Symposium

Merck Young Chemists Symposium, formerly SAYCS, is an annual scientific event organized by the Italian Chemical Society (SCI) with the financial support of Merck. Given the presence of a multinational company like Merck and of a EuCheMS-member society like SCI, this event is an international conference. This symposium is fully devoted to young researchers, such as Ph.D. students, post-doc fellows and young researchers in enterprises. All the disciplines of Chemistry are covered: analytical, physical, industrial, organic, inorganic, theoretical, pharmaceutical, biological, environmental, macromolecular and electrochemistry. This year, a special emphasis will be given to ubiquitous chemistry: why chemistry is increasingly present in all of the fields that are fundamental for human life, i.e. energy, health and environment
