From September 25th to 28th the 17th Chemistry Days were hosted by the Austian Chemical Society in cooporation with the Swiss Chemical Society in Salzburg. Emphasis was on Chemistry – from Life Sciences to Materials. And since current chemistry students are future researchers and laboratory heads we provided several worthwhile courses for interested young scientists.
