In addition to the EFMC grants, EFMC and the Scientific Committee of ESMEC are offering 13 free registrations for participation at the European School of Medicinal Chemistry (ESMEC) to students from outside Italy. The School, accredited by EFMC, will be held on July 2-7, 2012 in Urbino, Italy. The scholarships, covering the registration fee and the full board accommodation, will be assigned to PhD students enrolled in Doctoral Schools held in one of the member countries of EFMC, excluding Italy. The programme is available on the website www.esmec.eu

To apply for a free registration for ESMEC, please fill in the ESMEC grants application form available on www.efmc.info and send it together with a CV, a motivation letter and an abstract to Prof. Carlo De Micheli (carlo.demicheli@unimi.it) before April 5th. The abstract should summarize the research carried out during the PhD (for abstract instructions, please visit the ESMEC website), and is a prerequisite for the poster that will be presented during the School.

EFMC-ISMC 2012, the 22nd edition of the EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry, will take place in Berlin, Germany on September 2-6, 2012. The Symposium, which is internationally recognized as one of the leading Medicinal Chemistry meetings, will provide an international forum for presentations and discussions for leaders in trends in Medicinal Chemistry.

The ISMC symposia traditionally attracts experts in drug discovery and development, in particular medicinal and synthetic chemists, together with scientists active in the fields of computer-assisted drug design, biology, DMPK, pharmacology, early toxicology, as well as chemical and pharmaceutical development. The list of confirmed invited speakers as well as the preliminary programme is now available on the symposium website www.ismc2012.org
