On November 17, we are organizing the Kroese-Duijsters symposium at the Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Leiden University. The Kroese-Duijsters Symposia are supported by a generous donation by Dr. C.J. Kroese and Mrs. Mr. J.A.M. Kroese-Duijsters, who established the ‘Kroese-Duijsters Fund’ in 2015. One of the aims of the Kroese-Duijsters Fund is to organize an annual or biennial symposium to promote the Leiden Institute of Chemistry’s excellence in research, to increase the visibility of (junior) researchers and to strengthen national and international networks of the LIC. The Kroese-Duijsters Symposium further provides a unique opportunity to stimulate interdisciplinarity by inviting world-leading scientists from different fields and at different stages of their careers, to come together and exchange ideas.
The topic of this year’s symposium will be Structural Biology in Fundamental Research and Drug Discovery.
Confirmed invited speakers are:
Tiago Dias Da Costa, Imperial College London
Arjen Jakobi, TU Delft
Ulrich Lorenz, EPFL (keynote speaker)
Eliseo Papa, DeepMind
Sergi Plana-Ruiz, Rovira University
Jörg Standfuss, Paul Scherrer Institute (keynote speaker)
We are awaiting the confirmation from a few more. The program will also have opportunities for flash presentations.
