The Organizing Committee cordially invites you to participate in the 19th European Symposium of Organic Chemistry in 2015 (ESOC2015), to be held from the 12th to the 16th of July at the Universidade de Lisboa.
This conference aims at stimulating new emerging areas in organic chemistry, namely those related to organic electronics for chemical sensing, photopharmacology, vaccines, organic synthesis and catalysis. Contributions to the areas of carbohydrates and proteins, natural product organic chemistry and materials, in particular those relevant to industry, e.g. to food and pharmaceutical industries are also very welcome, based on their usefulness for a healthy life and a better ageing.
We are very grateful to all our speakers for accepting our invitation to present their latest findings in their area of research, and we name:
Carlos A. M. Afonso, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lisbon, Portugal
From biorenewable resources to heterocycles
Marco Bandini, Università di Bologna,Italy
New opportunities for the stereoselective dearomatization of indoles
Ruben Martin, Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia, Spain
Metal-catalyzed reductive carboxylation with CO2
We are particularly grateful to Dr. Haymo Ross, the Editor of the European Journal of Organic Chemistry for the creation of the EurJOC Young Researcher Award, which 1st edition will take place in ESOC2015.
Prof. Ilan Marek, Chief Editor of the PATAI series, is also gratefully acknowledged for the creation of the PATAI RAPPOPORT Lecture, an award given for the first time also in ESOC2015.
Bringing together scientists, industrials and students with expertise in a diversity of areas covering organic chemistry, this symposium is a unique opportunity not only to share the most recent results but also to foster new collaborations between academic and industrial partners, offering also new perspectives for business opportunities and innovation in Europe.
Welcome to ESOC2015, welcome to the Universidade de Lisboa
Amélia Pilar Rauter
Chair
The European Symposium of Organic Chemistry (ESOC) is a biannual event, first held in Cologne (Germany) in 1979. ESOC offers plenary and invited lectures, oral presentations and poster sessions, and brings together experts from Academia and Industry, and students whose research covers Organic Chemistry and related areas. The last ESOC was held in Marseille, France (ESOC18), and we highlight below the plenary, invited and young talented speakers of this meeting. The information about previous ESOC meetings, including the names of their speakers is also given, demonstrating the excellence of these symposia, that were held all over Europe. The 19th European Symposium of Organic Chemistry will now take place in Lisbon, a historical city facing the ocean, near the most occidental point of the European continent.

The scientific program aims at stimulating new emerging areas in organic chemistry, namely those related to organic electronics for chemical sensing, photopharmacology, vaccines, synthesis and catalysis. Contributions to organic/bioorganic chemistry topics e.g. in the areas of carbohydrates and proteins, natural products, small molecule and polymer chemistry, medicinal chemistry, food chemistry, are also very welcome, aiming at demonstrating the importance of organic chemistry research for new developments and innovation in a broad range of applications.
Contributions on the following topics are welcome:
Authors of plenary and invited lectures, and oral communications are invited to submit a paper to the IUPAC journal Pure and Applied Chemistry, that will dedicate an issue to ESOC 2015. Manuscript submission and review will proceed following the journal policy and submission deadline is October 31, 2015.
The authors are requested to send ESOC 2015 chair (Prof. Amélia Pilar Rauter) the title of their manuscript until the end of August.
In ESOC 2015, three Awards will be given, namely the PATAI-RAPPOPORT LECTURE AWARD, The EurJOC YOUNG RESEARCHER AWARD and the EuCheMS LECTURE AWARD.
The EuCheMS Lecture Award honours outstanding achievements by a European chemist. It also serves to enhance the image of European chemistry and to promote scientific cooperation in Europe. The 2014 EuCheMS Lecture Award was co-attributed to Prof. Christina Moberg and her lecture on the topic “Recycling in Asymmetric Catalysis” will be the Closing Lecture of ESOC 2015.
For the first time, the EurJOC YOUNG RESEARCHER AWARD is awarded on behalf of ChemPubSoc Europe, the organization of chemical societies that co-own the European Journal of Organic Chemistry. By recognizing excellence in research in Organic Chemistry by a young researcher, this award will motivate the young generation of organic chemists to continuing research in this scientific area and will stimulate them to strive for excellence when conducting research.
The PATAI RAPPOPORT LECTURE 2015 given by Prof. Peter Chen, and the EurJOC YOUNG RESEARCHER LECTURE 2015 given by Prof. Nuno Maulide will open ESOC 2015, while the EuCheMS 2014 LECTURE, given by Prof. Christina Moberg, will be the closing lecture of this meeting.

Insurance:
All conference attendees are advised to arrange private travel insurance. The conference organizers and committee accept no liability for personal accidents or damage to property. The organizing committee of ESOC XIX reserves the right to amend and/or alter the conference program without prior notice.
The meeting will take place in the Rectory building of the University (Reitoria da Universidade de Lisboa).
The University of Lisbon can be easily reached from the airport by taxi (ca. 8 euros) and from the city centre also by taxi or by metro (underground) or bus. Some of the conference hotels are located within a walking distance. The joint fleet of the two public transportation companies, Metro (underground) and Carris (buses and trams), covers the entire city.
Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and lies on the north bank of the Tagus Estuary, on the European Atlantic coast. Lisbon is Europe's second-oldest capital (after Athens).
Lisbon is an illuminated city. The almost constant presence of sunshine and the River Tagus transforms the Portuguese capital into a mirror of a thousand colours - highlighting the city’s unique architecture and beauty.
As you walk through Lisbon - whose history spans back thousands of years - you will find streets filled with heritage monuments, and characteristic neighbourhoods where the city first developed and can still be experienced at its most genuine level.
Additional regional highlights, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sintra, and the Estoril/Cascais coastline including the dramatic cliffs of Cape Roca, the Westernmost point on the European continent.
Visit the website of The Turismo de Lisboa for a detailed list of happenings around town.

1. Taxi
Lisbon Airport is very close to the centre of the city, so you can be at your hotel within minutes of arriving in Lisbon.
Taxis in Lisbon are relatively cheap and convenient. You can catch a taxi from outside the terminal.
It will cost between 8€ and 15€ to reach the city centre; with an extra cost if you travel late at night and with luggage. Make sure you ask for a receipt.
