The Spanish Society of Medicinal Chemistry (SEQT) is a multidisciplinary, non-profit body created in 1977. It integrates all Professionals, Companies, and Organisations whose activity is related to Spanish Pharmaceutical R+D. The goals of the SEQT are to promote the development of this field through the organization of scientific meetings that will stimulate professional contacts at both national and international levels, and to contribute to the training of advanced graduate students in the field. The SEQT is incorporated within the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology – EFMC, which groups the majority of graduates and professionals working in Pharmaceutical R+D. The SEQT has Honorary Members, Foundation Members, Full Members, and Protective (Members (pharmaceutical companies) that belong to the academic milieu, to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC, national research centers) and to private companies.
