SYNC 2024

Symposium for Young Chemists: Innovation and Sustainability

June 24th – 28th 2024 – Rome, Italy

SYNC 2024

The Department of Chemistry of the Sapienza University of Rome is proud to announce the Second Symposium for Young Chemists: Innovation and Sustainability (SYNC 2024) that will be held in Rome from 24 to 28 June 2024.

SYNC 2024 symposium is a unique gathering designed specifically for PhD students and early-stage researchers. Our symposium aims to foster international collaborations among young chemists, bringing together people from diverse universities across Europe and, potentially, from around the world. Together, we seek to advance the frontiers of chemistry through shared exploration and collaboration.

Building on the success of the first SYNC in June 2022, which saw the enthusiastic participation of 330 young chemists from 23 European and extra-European countries, SYNC 2024 aspires to foster long-term sharing of research, promote the mobility of PhD students, and encourage the development of innovative projects in response to local, regional, and global challenges.

Our focus on the new generations and the international character of our participants is geared towards creating a transversal society, united in the pursuit of the common good and capable of overcoming barriers associated with all forms of diversity.

We invite you to explore the conference themes, which span from fundamental chemistry to applicative research in a variety fields of application.

We look forward to welcoming you in Rome next June for the SYNC 2024 Symposium.
