Organized by
Università di Pisa
Dipartimento di Chimica e Chimica Industriale
Doctoral School in Chemistry and Material Science
Intro
CFF is a yearly international conference, which has reached its 9th edition, on the frontiers of Chemical Research. The idea of CFF is to convey every year several outstanding scientists from different sectors of chemistry. Every edition of CFF is organized by the 2nd year PhD students of the Doctoral School in Chemistry and Materials Science (DSCM) of the University of Pisa. CFF 2025 will host:
• 7 outstanding Plenary Lectures held by scientists from all over the world
• 16 keynote lectures, held by 3rd year PhD students
• short oral communications presented by younger researchers
• poster sessions
• social events and network: coffee breaks, happy hour, social dinner… You will a have the possibility to socialize and create a network in an international environment.
