The "Fourth European Workshop in Drug Synthesis"
(IV EWDSy) is to be held from May, 27th to 31st 2012 in Certosa di Pontignano,
on the outskirt of the beautiful city of Siena, in Tuscany (Italy). 

The second and third editions saw the participation of renewed international speakers and was considered a high quality event.

"Overall, the II EWDSy was a very useful and extremely well organized event that certainly can be considerd as a small gem in the crowded agenda of courses and workshops dedicated to organic chemistry."
