It was an excellent meeting, held at Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park, with around 50 participants, equally split between the two countries. There were some excellent lectures, including plenaries from:

  • Professor Stephen Clark (University of Glasgow)
  • Professor Sabine Flitsch (University of Manchester)
  • Dr King Kuok (Mimi) Hii (Imperial College London)
  • Professor Emanuela Licandro (University of Milan)
  • Professor Andrea Pace (University of Palermo)
  • Professor Claudio Trombini (University of Bologna)

Our congratulations go to  Susan Lepri from University of Perugia who won our poster prize.

RSC Organic Division Poster Symposium 2014

04 Jul 2014

RSC Organic Division Poster Symposium 2014, headline sponsored by F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd.

The poster symposium, for final year organic chemistry PhD students, will take place at The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London on Monday 01 December 2014.

The symposium offers final year PhD students a chance to showcase their research to their peers, leading academics and industrial chemists, and is open to all branches of organic chemistry. The symposium has a tradition of being the most competitive and highly regarded organic chemistry symposium for PhD students in the UK and ROI and we would like to thank F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. for their generous support of the event.

There will be a first prize of £500, two runner-up prizes of £250, and a “selected by Industry Prize”. Industrial delegates will make this selection by considering the research’s potential for application in an industrial context; the winner will also receive a prize of £500.

Closing date for submissions is Wednesday 01 October 2014.
For more information and to submit your abstract go to http://rsc.li/organic-poster
