The conference will provide an opportunity to share new ideas, technologies, and innovations in the broad area of neuroscience with the global community of scientists in this field of brain sciences.
The field of neuroscience is one of the most important frontiers in biomedical studies, as many of the details that control brain function are still not well understood. This makes the study of the nervous system very exciting and fast moving.
Therefore, we invite you to join us with your work and be part of this exciting experience.
The topics of the conference include:
- Behavioral neuroscience;
- Molecular and cellular neuroscience;
- Developmental neuroscience;
- Neuropsychology;
- Systems neuroscience;
- Sensory and motor neuroscience;
- Computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics;
- Neurorehabilitation;
- Neurotechnology and neuroimaging.
For the IECBS2022, participation and attendance are FREE of charge. Hopefully, this means it will be an inclusive and sustainable conference due to the lack of taxes, travel costs, or other related expenditures. All you need is a computer and access to the Internet. This online event will bring together researchers from all over the world.
We warmly invite our colleagues from across the world to actively take part in this important and inspiring event by presenting their latest work.
Event Awards
To acknowledge the support of the conference’s esteemed authors and recognize their outstanding scientific accomplishments, we are pleased to launch the Best Paper Award, Best Poster Award, and Best Speaker Award.
The winners will receive the following:
300 CHF (Swiss Francs);

Dear Colleagues,
The Electronic Conferences on Synthetic Organic Chemistry (ECSOC) are a series of conferences that have been held online since 1997. Originally, it was an initiative of MDPI, and was later amalgamated with the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). It now constitutes the longest running electronic conference in the world. It maintains free participation and registration in the true spirit of open access on the World Wide Web. This year, the conference will cover a wide range of aspects involved in synthetic organic chemistry. A non-exhaustive list of topics that will be considered comprises:
- General Organic Synthesis;
- Bioorganic, Medicinal and Natural Products Chemistry;
- Microwave-Assisted Synthesis;
- Polymer and Supramolecular Chemistry;
- Computational Chemistry.
ECSOC-26 offers you the opportunity to participate in this international, scholarly conference without the need to travel. It will be completely free of charge—both to attend, and for scholars to upload and present their latest work on the conference platform. There will be a possibility to submit selected papers to the journal Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, Impact Factor: 4.412 (2020); 5-Year Impact Factor: 4.588 (2020)).
Abstracts (in English) should be submitted by 30 September 2022 at https://ecsoc-26.sciforum.net. Once this has been accepted, the author is requested to send the full manuscript, and optionally, a PowerPoint presentation (PDF only) and/or video of their work, before 23 October 2022, to ensure there is time for a final check.
The conference proceedings papers and presentations will be available on https://ecsoc-26.sciforum.net for discussion and will be published in the Journal Chemistry Proceedings for free. Once the conference is over, a CD-ROM (ISBN 978-3-0365-3286-8) will be published with the contents of the conference, which will be available on request ([email protected]) for 75 EUR each.
Participants of this conference are cordially invited to contribute a full manuscript to our Special Issue of Molecules (submission to the journal is independent from the conference proceedings and will follow the usual process of the journal, including peer-review, APC, etc.). Papers presented at the conference will be granted a 20% discount for submisison to the Special Issue.
We are pleased to announce the availability of awards for researchers who plan to attend the ECSOC-26 conference. Applications and nominations will be assessed by the Scientific Committee. Winners will be announced online after the conference.
Best Contribution Award (CHF 500)
The Best Contribution Award is given for the proceedings judged to make the most significant contribution to the conference.
Best Presentation Award (CHF 500)
The Best Presentation Award is given for the posters/slide presentations and oral online presentations/video presentations judged to make the most significant contribution to the conference.
The 26th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry is organized and sponsored by MDPI, an open access publisher based in Switzerland. We hope you will be able to join this exciting event and support us in making it a success.
We look forward to receiving your research papers and welcoming you to this edition of the e-conference.

Upcoming Partner Conferences (9)
Namur, Belgium
Due to the extraordinary circumstances that we all found ourselves in surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we are genuinely disappointed to announce that we must postpone the 17th Belgian Organic Synthesis Symposium (BOSS XVII), due to take place in Namur from July 5-10, 2020. We made this difficult decision because the health and safety of all of our participants remains our primary concern.
The symposium will take place at the same location on July 3-8, 2022.

The 36th European and 12th International Peptide Symposium will be held at Sitges (Barcelona), Spain, from August 28 to September 2, 2022.
The meeting, themed "From Peptides to the World”, will be an ideal occasion for academia and industry scientists from all over the world to learn and discuss about the thriving field of peptide science, exchanging ideas, creating new alliances, meeting old –and making new– friends.
The 36EPS scientific committee has set out to assemble an exciting program with a broad range of topics covering, among others, advances in peptide chemistry and structure, bioactive peptides and their therapeutic applications, and peptide biomaterials, nanotechnology and delivery. In addition, associated satellite meetings and workshops will take place.
The conference will take place at the Melià Sitges, a leading hotel and convention center with a 1200-seat auditorium and 4,000 square meters for commercial exhibition, poster sessions and coffee breaks, all within the pleasant setting of a 300-room establishment with outdoor pool, gardens and terraces overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Sitges, 40 km south of Barcelona and well-connected (every 30 min) by rail to Barcelona International Airport and Central Station, is a trendy resort with privileged location and mild Mediterranean climate favouring outdoor activities practically all year-round. Four kilometres of beach, fringed by a sea-front promenade dotted with artful colonial mansions facing the sea, provide a perfect excuse for strolling in this convivial town well-known for its open, inclusive, relaxed atmosphere.
The scientific and local organizing committees, supported by the EPS executive committee, are keen to make the 36EPS/12IPS a memorable, successful scientific event. Convinced that your presence will contribute to that, we look forward to meeting you in Sitges in 2022!

Budapest, Hungary
The Zimányi School Winter Workshop aims to summarize the developments made in 2022 in high-energy heavy-ion physics, with a particular focus on the new data emerging from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as well as the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). We will discuss the results or plans from other high-energy nuclear and particle physics facilities of the world, most importantly lower-energy colliders, exploring the nuclear phase diagram (with special attention paid to J-PARC, FAIR and NICA). Another important purpose of the School is to discuss important novel phenomenological and theoretical results in hydrodynamics, flow and femtoscopy. Last, but not least, one of the main aims of the School is to encourage interaction between the theoretical and experimental communities.
