Ciqus - 10 years

1st Symposium “Chemistry at the Frontier” Celebrating CiQUS’ 10th Anniversary

The Symposium “Chemistry at the Frontier” took place in Santiago de Compostela, from Wednesday, the 30th of March until Friday, the 1st of April 2022.

This scientific meeting was organized to celebrate the 10th anniversary of CiQUS, a singular research center of the University of Santiago de Compostela, that was created with the vision of producing groundbreaking science at the interface of molecular chemistry, chemical biology, and material science.

The Symposium counted with an extraordinary panel of world-leading scientists, plenary, keynote and invited speakers, and also included attractive social activities that made of this anniversary a truly special event.

These were great days! Many thanks to the speakers, chairs, sponsors, participants & friends! All of you made this celebration unforgettable.
