No supporting documentation is required for professors and professionals.
Pay attention in the Mini-Course
The mini-course Protein Kinase: From Target to Therapy by Stefan Laufer (University of Tübingen, Germany) will be offered on December 7, 2026. The Meet the Expert activity will take place throughout the Conference (December 8–10, 2026), offering participants the opportunity to engage in small-group conversations with event speakers.
Deadline and Confirmation
Registration will remain open until August 31, 2026, or until all available places have been filled, whichever occurs first.
All applications will be reviewed by the Organizing Committee. Due to the limited number of places available, acceptance will be based on eligibility criteria, completeness of the required documentation, and the applicant’s scientific profile.
Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their registration starting in September 2026. Selected participants will receive a confirmation e-mail containing additional information regarding the event, participation requirements, and further instructions.
Call for papers
The 5th ISPMeC and the 1st LACMeC are pleased to invite you to submit abstracts. Submit your abstract and discuss your scientific work with some of the world’s leading experts in Medicinal Chemistry (see program). Registration and abstract submission are free of charge.
Key information
- Early Bird Abstract Submission Deadline: May 31, 2026
- Final Abstract Submission Deadline: August 31, 2026
- Results of abstract review returned to authors: Generally within four weeks
- At the time of submission, applicants must select either the oral communication or poster session option. However, as the number of slots available for oral presentations is limited, a committee of experts will select the works to be presented as oral communications based on criteria including the completeness and quality of the work, nationality, regional representation, and gender.
