The mission of the I-YMC-VMeet is to provide an online conference with keynote lectures and flash communication by the most distinguished Italian young scientists who have produced important, break-through discoveries in the last years in Medicinal Chemistry. This idea is aimed to promote networking, gathering young researchers and encouraging discussions on any scientific field related to drug discovery. We strongly believe in the importance of consolidating the interactions of our Community in science and beyond, for this reason we organized a poster session opened to all the members of scientific societies affiliated to EFMC.

Participation, as an author or a visitor, is ABSOLUTELY FREE; simply register here.

To achieve these ambitious goals and expand our community you will be also asked to show/send us something about your hobbies (reading, trips, drink, painting, sport and fashion or whatever talent you have!). Any creative idea will be appreciated and will be helpful to organize some social activities. On behalf of organizing and scientific committees we invite you to join us during this first edition and we look forward to posting your contributions.
