European-Winter School on Physical Organic Chemistry (e-WISPOC 2013)

Topical focus
The European-Winter School on Physical Organic Chemistry (E-WiSPOC), at its seventh edition, constitutes a unique opportunity to gain expertise in the field of Organic Chemistry. This is much relevant and beneficial for anyone interested in the mechanistic-physical understanding of chemicals. Physical Organic Chemistry is a very vivid discipline with many impacts.
In assessing a research in Chemistry in the UK in 2003, the international advisory panel has strongly recommended to increase investment in Physical Organic Chemistry as the discipline that started as “the application of quantitative tools taken (historically) from physical chemistry to the solution of problems in mechanisms or in understanding properties has evolved to complex molecular problems, and is now being applied in studying catalysis, biochemistry, photochemistry, reactivity in the vapour phase, surface science, materials sciences, and other areas”. Indeed, when considering a nice article on molecular biology, drug design, nanosystems and catalysis, we observe that the experimental interpretation is based on a Physical-Organic-Chemistry approach.
The School is part of the cultural initiatives of the Organic Division of the Italian Chemical Society, and it has the endorsement of the Organic Division of EUCHEMS.
The topic of the 2013 edition is Supramolecular Chemistry in Water.
When and where
The 2013 edition of the European-Winter School on Physical Organic Chemistry (E-WISPOC 2013) will take place in Bressanone (South Tyrol, Italy) January 27 to February 1, 2013. The School will be held at the “Greuner Baum” where lecturers and students will be also accommodated in a friendly environment.
