The Erasmus Intensive Program “SYNAPS: Synthesis and Retrosynthesis in the Chemistry of Natural Products”, intends to train young European citizens in the subject of the Chemistry of Natural Products with an emphasis on the analysis and synthesis of naturally occurring compounds and their analogs. The candidates for this Program are young students of Natural Sciences including Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Food Sciences, and Agricultural Sciences of both advanced undergraduate and graduate level.

The program will include in-class teaching of the theoretical background, use of electronic databases and software programs related to the subject, and the demonstration of analytical instruments regularly employed in the Natural Products Industry. Participating students will be evaluated on their performance and ECTS credits will be allocated for all courses. The long-term aim of this Program is to familiarize Natural Science students with the field of Natural Products and direct those participants interested towards the Natural Product Industry.
