First Symposium on Computational Chemistry in Flanders:
Computational Design of Drugs and Materials
December 12, 2025 - Hoek 38, Brussels
Dear,
We are delighted to invite you to the First Symposium on Computational Chemistry in Flanders: Computational Design of Drugs and Materials, an inspiring afternoon at the intersection of chemistry, computation, and innovation.
- Date: Friday, December 12, 2025
- Time: 13:00 – 17:30
- Location: Hoek 38 (FWO), Leuvenseweg 38, 1000 Brussels
Organized under the auspices of KVCV, this mini-symposium brings together leading researchers in computational drug discovery and materials science. Through a series of invited talks, we aim to showcase current advances and foster dialogue between disciplines.
Poster Presentations
We invite submissions for poster presentations.
