Welcome

We are proud to announce the 3rd ERC Grantees Conference: “Frontiers in Chemistry” that willtake place at the beach in Zandvoort in The Netherlands from August 31st until September 2nd 2016. The meeting will start after lunch on Wednesday 31 August and will finish around 14:00 on Friday 2 September.

Two very successful conferences were already organized in 2012 in Strasbourg and in 2014 in Berlin. With this conference, we would like to continue this series by hosting Europe’s leading experts in the arena of chemistry with an emphasis on soft materials ranging from small molecules, over polymers to bioinspired macromolecular assemblies. The aim of this event is to present the latest results and to discuss future trends in the broad context of molecular systems. Moreover, we would like to offer young scientists the possibility to get in touch with leading researchers who are supported by the European Research Council (ERC) and to learn more about the opportunities offered from the European Commission through the ERC.

The conference will be held at the beach club “Captain Cod” directly located on the beach in Zandvoort which can easily be reached from Amsterdam airport. There will be a beach volleyball field for some extra excitement during breaks and after the sessions.

Registration fee is 290 € including a beach BBQ and food & drinks during the event.

Extended Deadline for registration: July 15th. You can benefit from reduced rates for accommodation until June 13th.

Deadline for Poster Abstract submission: 15 July 2016 (please use template provided).

We look very much forward to welcoming you this summer at the beachside in Holland. It will be fun!

Andreas Herrmann and Sijbren Otto (conference organizers).
