Over 160 participants joined the second virtual IIS-CED conference on the 6/7th October.

Young talents in Isotope Science presented their high-level scientific results. Check out their publications

In Chem Commun, Angewandte Chemie, JACS or Nature. The conference was

framed by two plenary lectures given by Prof. Rylan Lundgren (Alberta, Canada) and Prof. Tracey Pirali (Piemont, Italy).
