The SCS Spring Meeting is an annual, one-day symposium organized by the Division of Fundamental Research (DFR) of the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) with lectures of national and international top-experts in the field.
The 2017 edition will focus on homogeneous catalysis and will show new paradigms with wonderful applications.
Speakers:
- Prof. John Hartwig (Berkeley, USA)
- Prof. Morris Bullock (Pacific Northwestern, USA)
- Prof. David Milstein (Weizmann, Israel)
- Dr. Rocco Paciello (BASF, Germany)

The SCS Spring Meeting is also the platform for the Werner Price Ceremonies and the Werner Award Lectures. The 2017 winners are
- Prof. Kevin Sivula, EPF Lausanne, who was awarded for his significant contributions to the advancement of materials and methods for photoelectrochemical energy conversion
- Prof. Christof Sparr, University of Basel, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the asymmetric synthesis of single atropisomers of hindered aromatic compounds using organocatalysis.
