Welcome
Organic, Medicinal and Biological Chemistry: Advancing Sustainable Solutions for Global Challenges
The Divisions of Organic Chemistry and of Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology of the Portuguese Chemical Society (SPQ) are delighted to invite you to the 16th National Organic Chemistry Meeting (16ENQO) and the 9th National Medicinal and Biological Chemistry Meeting (9ENQMB), which will be held at the Faculty of Sciences of the Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal, from 11 to 13 February 2026.
The ability to synthesise increasingly complex molecules has transformed Organic Chemistry into a fundamental science, enabling advances across synthetic methodology, molecular design, and chemical innovation. Integrated with Medicinal and Biological Chemistry, these approaches address challenges in human health while also fostering environmentally friendly processes, safer materials, and sustainable solutions to global societal challenges.
At this unique and dynamic scientific interface, 16ENQO & 9ENQMB will present an exciting multidisciplinary scientific programme, bringing together national and international experts. The event will feature a wide range of contributions, ranging from the development of new synthetic methodologies and novel molecular architectures to the design of molecules, complexes, and materials, as well as computational models that together advance our understanding of biological processes, drive chemical innovation, and contribute to sustainable solutions across health, industry, and the environment.
We warmly invite you to share your knowledge with us in Lisbon, where the meeting will offer numerous opportunities for oral communications, scientific awards, and a vibrant social programme in the heart of this beautiful city.
