Cover Story: The Electronic Conferences on Synthetic Organic Chemistry (ECSOC) is a series of conferences that have been held online since 1997. Originally an initiative of MDPI, it was later merged with the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The 29th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry was held online from 14 to 28 November 2025. In 2025, as in previous editions, the congress covered a wide range of topics in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics covered at ECSOC-29: General organic synthesis; chemistry of bio-organics and medicinal and natural products; polymers and supramolecular chemistry; computational chemistry.
