Challenges in Synthetic Methodology and Molecular Materials
Celebrating Enrique Guitián’s 70th Birthday
We are glad to announce the scientific workshop “Challenges in Synthetic Methodology and Molecular Materials”, that we organize to celebrate the 70th birthday of our mentor and friend, Prof. Enrique Guitián. The workshop will feature a series of lectures delivered by renowned experts in the fields of synthetic chemistry and molecular materials. Some of his former trainees, including ourselves as long-time coworkers, will also contribute to the workshop, showcasing Enrique’s scientific legacy and trajectory.
Registration closed on July 4th. However, if anyone is interested please contact Rubén Reif (ruben.reif.lopez [at] usc.es) as there are still a few places available.
Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting,
Diego Peña and Dolores Pérez.
