The “Enabling Technologies for Chemical Synthesis” is an innovative and international course designed to introduce cutting-edge technologies for chemical synthesis and strengthen laboratory techniques. In this course the power of technology is unlocked, stimulating creative chemical synthesis, and promoting impactful innovation in sustainable chemical processes. The course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in the latest tools and techniques that are transforming the landscape of chemistry. This course addresses a variety of technologies, such as flow chemistry, electrochemistry, mechanochemistry, photocatalysis, biocatalysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence, membrane technology, super-critical fluids and ultra-high pressure. These topics will empower chemists with the skills and expertise needed to excel in both industry and academia. As our scientific progress advances, so does the need to effectively harness the myriad of new technologies and better integrate diverse disciplines and sources of knowledge. In this context, this course introduces new enabling technologies of continuous processing and control as key design elements of the synthetic procedure.

The course “Enabling Technologies in Chemical Synthesis” offers an unique opportunity to learn from experts in the field of flow chemistry, electrochemistry, mechanochemistry, photo- an biocatalysis, membrane technology, supercritical fluids, ultra-high pressure and machine-learning and artificial intelligence. This course unlocks the potential of technology to improve the development of chemical processes, by training professionals working in the chemical and pharmaceutical field. Throughout the course modules, participants will explore key themes fundamental to success in the chemical synthesis, lectured by internationally recognized scientists in the field.
The Program is organized into 3 modules:
The learning objectives of the course on “Enabling Technologies for Chemical Synthesis” aim to prepare researchers capable of addressing upcoming challenges and opportunities arising from the incorporation of new technologies in chemical synthesis. The aim is to train participants who work in the chemical synthesis and related fields, to use and adapt the traditional protocols and methodologies to technological-driven research and automation. The participants will acquire knowledge, skills and competences necessary to address the current challenges in chemical synthesis and to drive impactful innovation with to the application of the new technologies and integration of different technologies for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Key objectives include:
As our scientific progress advances, so does the need to effectively harness the myriad of new technologies and better integrate diverse disciplines and sources of knowledge. Even today, the complex synthesis of essential molecules in society, such as the APIs, heavily relies on well-established chemical processes, many of which were discovered decades ago. This stands in stark contrast to other scientific fields where rapid advancements in computer-based technology accelerate the discovery process. Although synthesis methods are progressing swiftly, we observe moderate changes in the equipment employed for chemical synthesis. Thus, the continuous training of chemists is increasingly relevant and differentiating for the development of chemical processes. In this context, “Enabling Technologies in Chemical Synthesis” international course is designed to meet the needs and to train pre-and post-doctoral scientists (Master and PhD level) from both academia and industry and educators interested in furthering their knowledge in enabling technologies for chemical synthesis. It aims to build upon and complement the participant’s previous knowledge of organic chemistry and chemical engineering, emphasising the applications of the synthesis and catalysis towards APIs.
