The 21st International Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry (21stISFC) will be organized jointly with the 6th International Symposium on Fluorous Technologies 2015 (ISoFT’15) in Como (Italy) from 23rd August to 28th August 2015.
This joint event will cover all aspects of fluorine chemistry and fluorous technologies, spanning materials science, energy applications, sustainable processes, biomedicine, and nanotechnology. The program will comprise invited lectures by internationally renowned speakers working in academia, industrial laboratories, and research institutes. Oral presentations and poster sessions will give participants an occasion to disseminate their results and to become acquainted with the latest developments in all fields related to fluorine chemistry and fluorous technologies.
Particular emphasis will be given on creating opportunities for young scientists to networking with both peers and recognized leaders in all fields wherein fluorine offers an extra value.

Dear Academicians,
The European Commission invites the European Academy of Sciences to participate to the workshop: “The Future and Emerging Technologies unit (FET Flagship)” (Brussels, April 29th, 2014).
Professor Charles Joachain, Head of Physics Division and Prof. Peter Zoller, member of the Physics Scientific Committee took the initiative to mandate Prof. Tommaso Calarco to represent the Academy to this workshop. Indeed, Prof. Tommaso Calarco is one of the best experts in the field.
We asked to Prof. Calarco to describe the stakes of this workshop.
“The Future and Emerging Technologies unit (FET) of the European Commission has launched at the end of 2013 two FET Flagship initiatives, the “Human Brain Project” (HBP) and Graphene. FET Flagships represent a new model for research and innovation in Europe: they are large scale, long term, science-driven and roadmap-based initiatives that are supposed to have the potential to bring transformational impact on science and technology, as well on economy and society at large. The EC is now undertaking a consultation in preparation for a policy working paper on the FET Flagships model for European Research and Innovation, whose purpose will be to:
In this context, the EC has invited EURASC, among other key science and technology stakeholders, to a workshop on 29th April 2014 to gather feedback on the FET Flagship scheme, in view of its future evolution. This is a major opportunity for the scientific community to give direct input not only about topics to be considered for possible upcoming Flagships, but also – and perhaps most importantly – about the ways in which the FET Flagship program should be structured to better serve the needs of science and society, building on the lessons being learned throughout the initial stage of the program itself. The outcome of the workshop could bring about a significant improvement in this strategic funding scheme, and therefore EURASC has decided to delegate a representative to participate in the workshop.
I am very honored by being indicated as the EURASC representative, and I am fully aware of the need to do my best in order to be up to the task.”
