BOSS XI

by Phil on Jul 21 2008 (3454 Views)

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Belgian Organic Synthesis Symposium (BOSS) in Ghent. This included 4-5 lectures a day, poster presentations and of course sightseeing! The speaker list comprised big names, such as Baran, Carreira, Denmark, Du Bois, Fürstner, Hartwig, Shibasaki and Trost. I’m not going into detail about the lectures, as this seems to be covered in Tot. Synth. You can see the full programme here.

I can say as much: the conference was really great, if you ever get a chance to go there, do so! Everything was well-organized, most of the lectures were highly interesting, and so were the posters. In addition, Ghent is a beautiful town that is well worth a visit.
