SCS Seminar on Flow and Process Chemistry 2026

The SCS Seminars are two-days education seminars that focus on topics that are relevant for the Swiss chemical and pharmaceutical industry but are not enough considered during the academic education at universities.

This seminar focused on relevant issues of flow chemistry such as

Batch to flow
Flow reaction optimization
Safety issues
Scaling up
Reactors and reactor design

Target audience

The event targets PhD students, Postdocs as well as junior scientists from industry and will be led by senior scientists and designated experts from academia and industry.

Active participation is key for all attendees. A good mix between

theoretical lectures,
reports of concrete projects from industry,
interactive workshops/panel discussions and
short presentations by participants

will guarantee a maximum of impact. Each participant brings along a specific challenge out of his daily lab work and will presents poster of his/her current work.

Speakers

Dr. Jean-Philippe Krieger, Syngenta Crop Protection AG
Dr. Gabriele Laudadio, University of Graz
Prof. Francesca Paradisi, University of Bern
Dr. Dominique M. Roberge, Lonza AG
Speaker from F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG
Short Talk from Fluitec

Preparation

Each participant has to…

submit a short abstract of his current lab work while registration.
present a poster (format A0) in the evening poster session,
acquire a basic knowledge of flow chemistry beforehand in order to benefit optimally from the course,
consider one step of a synthesis, the preparation of a compound or a process that can be discussed for application in flow chemistry during the workshops.

Recommended literature:

‘Flow Chemistry, Volume 1: Fundamentals’; F. Darvas, G. Dorman, V. Hessel
‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Flow Chemistry‘; M. B. Plutschack, B. Pieber, K. Gilmore, P. H. Seeberger

Certificate

Each participant will get a certification showing the discussed and the acquired competences.

Please be cautious!
