Official Information:

The EUCHEM Conference on Stereochemistry, better known as the Bürgenstock Conference, is an outstanding international chemistry meeting of high scientific quality, with an optimal setting for intense inter-disciplinary discussion. Since 2009, the meeting has moved to another beautiful location on the shores of Lake Lucerne in Brunnen: the Seehotel Waldstätterhof Brunnen.

Main Areas

Organic and metal-organic chemistry: discovery and development of new reactions, metal catalyzed C–H activation, oxidative functionalization, metal catalysis and enantioselective synthesis, organocatalysis, total synthesis of complex natural products, catalytic modification of natural products.

Supramolecular chemistry and physical organic chemistry: foldamers, chiral induction, encapsulation processes, microdroplets in microfluidics, molecular electronics, nanoscale objects, supramolecular chemistry of DNA, biomimetic materials and self-assembly.

Chemical biology: protein epitope mimetics, anti-infective agents, vaccine design, supramolecular polymerization, protein–protein and protein–DNA interactions, miniature proteins, fluorescent proteins, structure and function of four stranded nucleic acids.
