About the conference
Dear colleagues and friends,
the Organizing Committee is pleased to invite you to participate in the 54th conference SYNTHESIS AND ANALYSIS OF DRUGS (SAL 2026) that will take place in Bratislava (Slovak Republic) as an onsite event from September 17 to 18, 2026.
Synthesis and Analysis of Drugs (Syntéza a analýza liečiv) is an annual conference held alternately in the Czech and in the Slovak Republic as a meeting place and forum for specialists and PhD students from Central Europe and beyond. It has a long tradition dating back to 1971.
The conference covers all aspects of pharmaceutical chemistry and analysis, including adjoining fields such as pharmacology, biochemistry and molecular biology, bioorganic / bioinorganic chemistry, and related disciplines.
The conference will be organized under the auspices and on the premises of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Comenius University in Bratislava.
Contributions to the conference (lectures and posters) should preferably be delivered in English.
There will be a possibility to publish articles based on conference contributions in a special issue of an international scientific journal.
