Molecular Frontiers Symposium
The Molecular Frontiers Symposium is a think tank with the Scientific Advisory Board as its core, where leading scientists from different fields meet to discuss and analyze current scientific developments. The Molecular Frontiers Symposium also facilitates cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer and guides activities for the younger audience.
Upcoming Meeting
The next Molecular Frontiers Symposium is currently being planned for May 24- 25 2011 and will be held at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden. The topic for the symposium will be Chemistry of Life - from the molecular origin of life to how you may create artificial life - everything is chemistry!Latest Meeting
