CGEC2024 will focus on green chemistry and chemistry for environment and energy in chemistry.

Scientific Update Ltd.

The aim of the course is to give organic chemists an understanding and an overview of the subject of biotransformations. Attendees will learn about the main classes of enzymes and the transformations these enzymes carry out.

Professional Training Events in Chemistry,    Chemical Engineering

The symposium will be jointly organized by the Synchrotron SOLEIL and the CNRS/University of Strasbourg at the ‘European School for Chemistry, Polymers of Matériaux’ (ECPM).

This three-days event will focus on electrocatalytic systems combined with electron or X-ray based analysis techniques (e.g., electronic microscopy or synchrotron-based approaches). Specifically, it will cover technical and scientific challenges related to the study under operating conditions of electrocatalytic reactions linked to energy storage or production (e.g., water, oxygen, CO2 reduction; hydrogen, water oxidation).

Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)

This meeting is for established and early-career scientists, postgraduate students and industrial researchers working on various aspects of biocatalysis. It will be of interest to researchers working in the areas of enzyme design, protein engineering and catalyst optimization, both in industry and academia, and will provide the opportunity to identify opportunities and challenges, share expertise and advance knowledge at the frontiers of this rapidly developing area.

The Metallocofactors GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

The scientific focus of this meeting concerns the catalytic active sites of metalloproteins––metallocofactors and their precisely tuned secondary coordination spheres––that drive the chemical reactions enabling life on Earth. These catalytic active sites have captivated a diverse community of scientists spanning a range of disciplines. Accordingly, this Gordon Research Conference unites biochemists, synthetic chemists, spectroscopists, and biologists sharing a common desire to understand how Nature uses a limited elemental toolbox to drive challenging but essential chemical transformations. Key foci of the 2024 Metallocofactors GRC will be methodologies (e.g. spectroscopy, electrochemistry), motifs (e.g. clusters), and context (nutrient cycles, repurposing/engineering of cofactors for non-natural roles).

Catalysts for Processing the Elements of Life

All French academic laboratories related to catalysis, along with the majority of the industrial companies will contribute to a successful event. France’s solid history in catalysis continues today thanks to a young generation of talented scientists in all major fields of catalysis. Building on these strong roots, the French catalysis community wishes to promote disruptive catalysis with the objective of building a better world. In a spirit of cross-fertilization between disciplines, worldwide societal challenges including the environment, energy, mobility, and the circular economy will be addressed through invited lectures and dedicated sessions in line with the main conference slogan “ROOTS AND WINGS FOR A BETTER WORLD”.

This symposium will discuss the challenges and opportunities main-group chemistry provides for modern synthesis and catalysis to complement classic Organic Chemistry and transition metal catalysis.
