Organizing Committee

Organizing committee

Chemical Research in Flanders - Chemistry Conference for Young Scientists 2022 joint forces to organize the new CRF-ChemCYS 2022 symposium. The symposium originates from two teams; one who organized CRF-1 and CRF-2, through collaboration of all five Flemish Universities, and a second team organizing ChemCYS, the symposium of the Youth Section of the Royal Flemish Chemical Society (KVCV), respectively.

CRF

The CRF team consists of professors from all of the five Flemish universities who are experts in chemistry(-related) topics. The effort is catalyzed by two FWO-Scientific Research Communities "Catalysis research: from individual active sites to reactors" and "Sustainable chemical processes for synthesis of fine chemicals". Stimulated by the success of the two previous symposia, the time was right to bring the chemical research community of Flanders together again.

ChemCYS

ChemCYS is a biennial scientific meeting in the field of chemistry and life sciences. Our drive is giving young researchers the opportunity to present their work on an international stage. The ChemCYS team consists of members of the youth section of the Royal Flemish Chemical Society (KVCV).
