About the symposium
The Spanish Junior Leaders in Synthesis and Catalysis is a one-day symposium which gathers 12 emerging PIs on the fields of catalysis and organic synthesis in Spain or abroad. The line-up of speakers is selected by the scientific committee based on the scientific quality of the candidates and the projection of their recently-launched independent research lines. This event is aimed to bring together the future leaders on the field and serve as a platform to promote their research, gain visibility and establish networking opportunities. The symposium will take place at the Pleiades-Vitalys Multidisciplinary Research Center at the University of Murcia (Spain), and the program embodies 12 talks of 25 minutes, each of them followed by 10 minutes to favor dynamic, in-depth scientific discussions. Networking activities will take place in coffee breaks and lunch times at the venue. The attendance of external audience is available upon free registration. Academics, postdocs, PhD students, and master’s students are welcome.
