The EFMC is the main organisation for the European Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology community, with 30 member societies and about 9.000 members. Its biennial EFMC-ISMC is a key symposium in the field of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery and it traditionally attracts around 1.000 participants both from industry and academia. The most recent EFMC-ISMC meeting took place in France (Nice, 2022).

The 2024 programme will include:

Three parallel sessions with different themes:

1. Chemical Biology
2. Drug Discovery Projects
3. Technologies

In addition, the programme contains five open sessions: First Time Disclosures (I & II), Late Breaking News/Recent Developments, Highlights in Medicinal Chemistry as well as a special session on Early Career Women in Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology. For these sessions, the talks will be selected from the submitted abstracts.

For most of the below topics, two slots in the programme will be available for an oral communication selected out of the submitted abstracts.
