Welcome
On behalf of the Organizing Committee I am very pleased to welcome you to the
second edition of the International Symposium on Synthesis and Catalysis
(ISySyCat2017) at the historic University of Évora. The inaugural edition of this
conference that took place in September 2015 (ISySyCat2015) was an enormous
success and we wish to build on this success, and make this a regular biannual
event, which we can be proud of.
The conference focuses on various aspects of organic, organometallic and
inorganic synthesis, as well as all areas of catalysis, including metal based
catalysis, organocatalysis and biocatalysis. Issues of current major interest will
be discussed, which include the sustainable production of important bulk,
high-added value and biologically active compounds, from both academic and
industrial perspectives.
We are proud to have a delightful mixture of both academic and industrial
chemists from all corners of the globe, making this yet again a very international
event. This is also reflected in the fine line-up of speakers, which includes
well-known chemists and up and coming “rising” stars. There is also a very nice
line-up of short “flash” talk speakers, who in the main are junior researchers with some
very exciting research to discuss. Besides, there will be a smorgasbord of poster
presentations, covering all aspects of these pivotal areas. Prizes will be awarded
(to be announced before the closing ceremony) for the best “flash” talks and
poster presentations.
This conference should be the ideal venue to be updated on current
developments and advances in these areas, for net-working, making new
acquaintances, and at the same time allowing one to relax, soak up and enjoy
the special surroundings, along with the unique food, drink and hospitality
provided by this special region.
We are very grateful to the Portuguese Chemical Society (Sociedade Portuguesa
de Química), the University of Évora, and all our generous sponsors and
supporters, without their valuable support this special event would not be
possible.
Last, but not least, we would like to thank all the participants at ISySyCat2017 for
coming!
We hope that your participation will be rewarding, fulfilling and of course very
enjoyable.
So, make the most of it and enjoy!

Useful information
Time Zone: The time zone in Portugal is GMT.
Water: Tap water in Portugal is drinking water.
Electricity: In Portugal, the line voltage is 220 V and the connection is made by a
two-pin plug. Travelers from the USA will require a voltage converter. Travelers
from the UK will require a plug adapter and this is best bought in the UK as they
are hard to find in Lisbon (can try at the Lisbon airport).
Currency, Banks and Post Offices: The national currency in Portugal is Euro.
Banks are open from Monday to Friday between 8.30 am and 3 pm. Post offices
are usually open between 8.30 am and 6 pm. Exchange houses operate everyday
between 9 am and 1 pm and from 2 pm to 7 pm.
Going out in Évora: With your conference material, you will find a city map and a
brochure of Évora with lots of necessary information.
Climate: In early September, the temperature in Évora is on average 30ºC (the
nights are hot). Rain is very unlikely.
