Chemistry creates good connections. The “Österreichische Chemietage 2017”, a joint event of the Gesellschaft Österreichische Chemiker (GÖCH) and the Swiss Chemical Society (SCG), is not only an interdisciplinary, high-caliber scientific program, but also builds bridges in a number of ways: to related disciplines, from the young chemist to the experienced researcher, and from university research to industry.

Every two years, researchers and conservationists from the field of Amphibian and Reptile conservation (Herpetology) meet to present new insights, to discuss measures, and to exchange ideas.

From 21 to 22 September 2017, the Center for Ethics and Poverty Research at the University of Salzburg is organizing an international symposium on poverty research in which 70 scholars from all over the world will be focusing on the topic of religion and poverty, which has so far hardly been discussed.
