Frontier Research
Will
your Chemistry Make the World a Better Place?
“Could
your latest discovery be the basis for a new medicine, material or an
entirely new industry? What steps should you take next on the road to
real world impact?”

The European-Winter
School on Physical Organic
Chemistry (E-WISPOC),
at its 13th edition,
turns the spotlight on the pervasive role
of Chemical Science for the achievement of the “Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs)” identified by UN as the imperative mission for a sustainable
future with a target date of 2030 (A. Krief et al. Nature
Chemistry, 2015, 7, 941).
The
School aim is to reach out to the
young researchers who have the biggest potential for creativity and
innovation: the essentials of Frontier Research. The School is
especially designed for PhD students, post-docs and for
everyone
who is committed to courageous,
original, groundbreaking research that can make our World a better place.
To do so, E-WISPOC, offers an outstanding educational and training
program targeting a “challenge-oriented” approach.
Along
a three-year roadmap at the heart of “Frontier Research”, in each
edition a thematic
fil-rouge
is proposed to highlight the key role of Molecular and Materials
Science for application in three priority areas underpinning the SDGs’
agenda:
Energy:
Creating and
securing environmentally sustainable energy supplies, and improving
efficiency of power generation, transmission and use.
Human health and Food:
Improving and maintaining accessible health, including disease
prevention.
Raw materials &
Feedstocks: Creating and sustaining a supply of renewable
feedstocks, by designing processes and products that preserve resources.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals
or SDGs were
approved on 25.9.2015 as the «2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development» by the 193 member states of the UN.
Registration is now open! Deadline: January, the 5th 2019
