Dear colleagues,
We have the pleasure to welcome you in Cluj-Napoca to the second edition of the CoFRO - A workshop on organometallic, inorganic and coordination chemistry between France and Romania which will be held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on March, 19 - 20, 2026.
We hope that this conference is a good opportunity for all participants to exchange ideas end experience in their own field of research and to open the way for future collaborations.
In the same time we are seeking to offer you the opportunity to visit Cluj-Napoca, a city with a rich history and an important cultural centre, as well as the privilege to visit some unique landscapes and touristic attractions in the heart of Transylvania.
We are committed to give everyone a share of the time. Every research group that sends one or more attendees is guaranteed to have at least a slot for an oral presentation.
