Abstracts invited for International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry

29 Mar 2012

Good news!

There’s still a chance to submit your oral abstract to ICPOC 21: 21st IUPAC International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry organised by the Organic Division of the RSC on behalf of IUPAC, to be held 9 – 13 September 2012 at Durham University.

The Scientific Committee is currently reviewing all submissions, and has agreed to accept contributions up to Friday 13 April to allow for the Easter holiday break.

Why join ICPOC 21?

Professor Hiromitsu Maeda, Ritsumeikan University, Japan has won the 2012 ChemComm Emerging Investigator Lectureship and will deliver his lecture at ICPOC 21.

This annual award recognises an emerging scientist in the early stages of their independent academic career. Professor Maeda’s has been particularly commended for his contributions to the fields of organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and materials science.

In addition to the outstanding plenary sessions, there will be three parallel sessions over the five days comprising invited lectures and contributed talks, as well as poster sessions.

A broad range of scientists from across the whole community who share a quantitative perspective on chemistry will be there, providing an opportunity to discuss and celebrate the current status, development, and the future of physical organic chemistry.

Make sure you are one of them! Don’t miss the oral abstract submission deadline – 13 April.
