4th edition of the “International Summer School of Natural Products” (ISSNP)
ISSNP virtual school: 6th – 8th July 2021
We are glad to announce the 4th edition of the “International Summer School of Natural Products” (ISSNP)
As we are still experiencing Covid19-related restrictions, this edition will switch from physical to virtual school.
The school is designed for PhD students and young researchers and aimed to build up a lively scientific community tackling global challenges in the field of natural products.
Strategical objectives will be focused on interdisciplinary and intersectoral learning, networking and cross collaborations.
A combination of lectures, seminars and interactive sessions will provide an immersive and challenging experience and team-based problem-solving activities will help the participants to be prepared for future research studies in these fields
Applicants will learn from top scientists and professionals
In order to become a leader yourself, it is very important to learn from leaders. ISSNP attracts experts who are typically busy and rarely available during the academic year.
Applicants will be able to network with like-minded colleagues.
ISSNP is built around specific themes and targets students and researchers who have an interest in and enthusiasm for this special subject, Natural Products. Networks will be constructed throughout the 3 days of school activities, during lectures, seminars and interactive sessions, working in-group.
Positive aspects of Virtual Meetings:
• Meeting recordings ensure nothing goes lost
• You can meet on the go from your phone
• You can join from your favourite place
• You can create new workflows
• You can still talk face to face
• It’s easy to collaborate with screen sharing
• A big community online is even bigger
Registration
To register visit to the Registration Page for the IV Edition of the International Summer School on Natural Products (ISSNP) at https://www.issnpschool.org/registration/
The programme will be available at the link: issnpschool.org/programme/
Further information is available at the school website: https://www.issnpschool.org/school/
“BIAGIO ALBERTO DELLA BEFFA” PRIZE
On the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of its foundation, Indena (www.indena.com), in partnership with the International Summer School of Natural Products ISSNP, is pleased to announce the institution of a biennial prize dedicated to the memory of its founder “Biagio Alberto Della Beffa.”
For the first edition of the “Biagio Alberto Della Beffa” Prize, three contest winners will be selected among the next International Summer School of Natural Product edition participants. The prize aims to award and support the professional development of young talented scientists in Natural Product Chemistry.
The prize is directed to Chemists, Pharmacists, and Pharmaceutical Chemists who obtained their MSc after 2018 and are currently attending the 2nd/3rd year of a PhD related to Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The three winners will be awarded a Grant of 5.000,00 €, and they will benefit of a 6-month internship at Indena’s premises, that includes a Managerial course.
The prize will be awarded during the International Summer School on Natural Products, organized among the 6th and the 8th July 2021, signifying a closer collaboration between Industry and Academia.
