Welcome

The European Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry (ESFC) brings together industrial and academic fluorine chemists from all over the world and first took place in Munich in 1965. The conference is held every three years in Europe and the event and scientific program cover all topics related to fluorous technologies and fluorine chemistry. 

The 21st European Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, hosted by the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa in partnership with the Portuguese Society of Chemistry (SPQ). The ESFC Lisbon will bring together large numbers of international researchers from academia, research institutes, and industry. The scientific program provides forums that cover a broad range of applied and fundamental fluorine chemistry. It will offer insights from physical and theoretical chemistry and from the fields of fluorous technologies, sustainable processes, biomedicine, and materials science, among others.
