on behalf of the Society of Combinatorial Sciences I have the pleasure of inviting you to participate in the fourth EuroCombi and first international Symposium on Combinatorial Sciences in Biology, Chemistry, Catalysts and Materials. The Symposium will be held in Florence, Italy from Sunday, July 15 to Wednesday, July 18, 2007, and will be organized under the auspices of the Society of Combinatorial Sciences (SCS) in collaboration with OpenLab of the Università di Firenze.

Aim of this congress is to show the different fields of application of Combinatorial Sciences and Methodologies, bringing together scientists both from Companies and Universities, involved in the application of Combinatorial Sciences in various fields. The programme will include four main sessions, one per day, divided in several specific themes and a special session for Posters.

A particular invitation is addressed to young scientists and researchers, in order to give them the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and to give their contribution in this very peculiar field of Science. Best posters and oral presentations will be awarded with prizes, and special travel grants will be given to young researchers.

I hope this will be the occasion to meet you in Florence and Tuscany, nestle for many artists and men of genius throughout the centuries.

I am looking forward to welcoming you in Florence.
