2nd Advanced school on Natural Products, Medicinal Chemistry and Organic Synthesis - Integrated Solutions for Tomorrow's World

The ESPCA-Chemistry 2013 is organized by São Paulo State University (UNESP), coordinated by Prof. Vanderlan Bolzani and supported by FAPESP. All ESPCA’s speakers are highly qualified scientists and leaders in their fields, including several invited foreign scientists. The theme of this school will be Bioorganic Chemistry, involving aspects of natural products, medicinal chemistry, synthesis and spectroscopic methods. We also have planned some social events to stir-up discussions between students and professors and thus, make this year’s School more fruitful and enjoyable. The ESPCA committee will select 50 foreign students and 50 Brazilian students to be awarded with financial support for meals, transport and accommodation for this event. Students with FAPESP scholarship cannot receive financial support, but can apply to participate without the ESPCA financial support
