Round-table: Young Chemists: What Future Options Do We Have?

The main activity will be a roundtable discussion addressing topics of interest for young university chemistry students. This roundtable, with participation from experts in the academic field such as Dr. Laia Pellejà (CERCA director), Dr. Aurea Rodríguez (Eurecat), and industry (amongst them, Nora Ventosa, cofounder of Nanomol Technologies SL). It is organized jointly by the student sections of COQC and SCQ. Before and after the roundtable, COQC awards will be presented, including the fourth edition of “Which Molecule Am I?” organized by the Rovira i Virgili University of Tarragona, and the “Marie Sklodowska-Curie” award to recognize senior and junior chemists, with the collaboration of Banc de Sabadell. The “Chemistry Kit” with experiments for secondary school labs will also be presented.
