The following day, a group of the Editorial Board members visited the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry at the invitation of Professor Shuli You. Professors Huw Davies and Helma Wennemers gave presentations to the department about their work then the group attended a formal lunch joined by Professor Tong (Vice Dean),  Professor Dai and RSC Chief Executive Office Richard Pike.

The Editorial Board then jetted off to Beijing for the final part of their visit to China. The Chem Soc Rev Beijing Symposium was held at Beihang University on 24th June, hosted by Professor Lei Jiang. An audience of 200-300 scientists were treated to 18 talks covering the whole spectrum of the chemical sciences, from both Editorial Board members and leading Chinese researchers.
