11th International Symposium on the Synthesis and Applications of Isotopes and Isotopically Labelled Compounds

The conference will focus on the synthesis and applications of isotopes and isotopically labelled compounds. This includes all aspects of synthesis, analytics and applications of radioactive and stable isotopic labelled compounds as well as radioactive storage management and waste disposal.

The scientific program will be composed of invited plenary lectures by prominent scientists, invited lectures and oral communications as well as poster presentations.

Scientific Sessions:
