The Society for Therapeutic Chemistry (SCT)-Young Research Fellows Meeting will be held at Aix-Marseille Université's Faculty of Pharmacy from Wednesday February 11 to Friday February 13, 2026.
Since 1994, this event has brought together young European scientists and renowned international experts to share and discuss major advances in therapeutic chemistry. Covering a wide range of topics, from chemical biology and nanotechnologies to synthesis methods and diagnostic tools, the SCT-Young Research Fellows Meeting provide a privileged forum for analyzing current issues and emerging trends in the field, while supporting professional development through dedicated workshops and a strong involvement of the industrial sector.
The (SCT)-Young Research Fellows Meeting aims to provide young scientists with numerous opportunities for exchange and networking, notably by enabling them to showcase their work through oral presentations, flash poster sessions and poster exhibitions. The best contributions are rewarded with prizes for oral presentations and posters. In addition, professional workshops and meetings with experts from academia and industry round out the program, to support young professionals in their career development.
This event is supported by IM2B, which may cover the registration fees for young researchers. For further information, please contact Katia Duquesne (katia.duquesne@univ-amu.fr).
