São Paulo Advanced School on Chemistry – Natural Products, Medicinal Chemistry and Organic Synthesis Integrated Solutions for Tomorrow's World

"Chemistry-our life, our future-our life, our future Chemistry" The International Year of Chemistry (YIC 2011) aims to promote worldwide, scientific knowledge, technological and chemical education at all levels.

In addition to the celebration of the numerous benefits of chemistry for mankind and the current stage of economic development, the YIC 2011 also has as a goal a world action around the preservation of life in a sustainable environment for future generations (slogan "Chemistry-our life, our future-our life, our future Chemistry").

The objective of this celebration is to awaken the interest and the enthusiasm of young people for education and research in all sub-areas of chemistry at all levels; and to promote a reflection on the importance of this area of research for the sustainability of the planet we inhabit.

With a high level scientific programming, consisting of five Nobel prizes in Chemistry, five renowned international scientists and nine Brazilian scientists of great prominence in their fields of expertise, the advanced school promises to be a great stage of scientific discussions, as part of the celebration of the YIC 2011.

On the other hand, taking gathering five Nobel prizes with young scientists from various parts of the world, the ESPCA in the YIC-2011 celebration marks a difference of this celebration in Brazil, due to the success of the initiative of FAPESP, São Paulo University and excellence of the research environment in the State of São Paulo in Brazil.

This advanced school will have the privilege of being considered an "mini Lindau paulista" (Germany-Lindau meeting that brings together hundreds of young talented scientists from all over the world with various Nobel prizes of all areas of science).
