This annual event provides a platform not only for updating on the latest advances in the fields of medicinal chemistry and biological chemistry, but also for exchanging ideas and networking among young researchers and experts in the field. The Symposium, which usually has a participation of more than 100 national and international attendees, consists of three plenary sessions, 9 oral communications, more than 40 poster presentations and 30 flash presentations, in which people in the earliest stages of their research career have the opportunity to present.
