Bürgenstock Conference 2022

Welcome to the website of the 55^th Bürgenstock Conference. We are happy to plan an on-site conference from May 1 to May 5, 2022, and hope that the pandemic situation will allow us to run the event in the familiar setting with 120 participants in Brunnen, Switzerland. After the cancellation of the conference in 2020 and the online version in 2021 it is a great wish of all of us to meet physically again.

The ‘SCS Conference on Stereochemistry’, better known as ‘Bürgenstock Conference’, is an outstanding international chemistry meeting of high scientific quality, with an optimal setting for intense inter-disciplinary discussion.

From 1965 to 2008, the venue of the conference was the Bürgenstock-Resort above the lake of Lucerne in Switzerland. Since 2009, the meetings have moved to another beautiful location on the shores of Lake Lucerne: the Seehotel Waldstätterhof Brunnen.

Stereochemistry is the principle underlying our understanding of the processes of life and the properties of matter at the molecular level. It is a key element not only in all chemical disciplines, but also in modern molecular biology, molecular medicine, biophysics, and material design. Accordingly, the ‘Bürgenstock Conference’ has grown over the years into a multi-disciplinary conference where frontier science is being discussed. Lectures cover many areas of chemistry and relevant highlights from neighboring disciplines.
