Abstract

In the last 15 years the number of open clusters with accurate abundance determination has significantly increased, allowing the investigation of several topics in the context of star formation and evolution, as well as of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way. Here I provide an overview of the chemical properties of the open cluster population. In particular, I will discuss the overall distribution of iron and other elements as a function of cluster age and position in the Galactic disc, focusing on a few recent results.
