Beilstein Bozen Symposium
“Chemistry, Life and Evolution”
30th May - 3rd June, 2016
Yachthotel Chiemsee
Prien am Chiemsee
Germany
Registration: information is available at:

This symposium will address the chemical processes involved in the origin, evolution, and processes of life. This is an area of research where lines of thought in chemistry, physics, biology and informatics meet and interact. We will examine not only current theories for the origin of life –pathways from simple molecules to proteins and nucleotides - but will also cover directed evolution, organic and inorganic systems, autocatalytic systems, the influence of chirality, and transfer of information and related topics.
The following scientists have agreed to speak at the meeting:
The Beilstein-Institut hosts this interdisciplinary symposium every two years. The secluded setting and the limited number of participants, provide a very convivial atmosphere for the ready exchange of thoughts and ideas.

Abstracts for the poster presentation should be submitted electronically by 26 February 2016 to the following email address:
