Proceedings of the Merck Young Chemists Symposium – XVII Edition

Merck Young Chemists Symposium, formerly SAYCS, is an annual scientific event organized by the Italian Chemical Society (SCI) with the financial support of Merck. Given the presence of a multinational company like Merck and of a EuCheMS-member society like SCI, this event is an international conference. This symposium is fully devoted to young researchers, such as Ph.D. students, post-doc fellows and young researchers in enterprises. All the disciplines of Chemistry are covered: analytical, physical, industrial, organic, inorganic, theoretical, pharmaceutical, biological, environmental, macromolecular and electrochemistry. This year, a special emphasis will be given to chemistry without borders: how chemistry is increasingly present in all of the fields that are fundamental for human life, i.e. energy, health and environment?
