Last month, Chemical Science sponsored the 1^st International Conference on Noncovalent Interactions, in Lisbon, Portugal. The talks highlighted the important role of noncovalent interactions in a range of disciplines, such as theoretical chemistry, synthesis, catalysis, crystal engineering, molecular recognition, medicinal chemistry, biology, materials science, and electrochemical immobilization.

Chemical Science, along with Dalton Transactions and RSC Advances, sponsored poster prizes at the conference. Congratulations to Anh Tuan Pham (University of Geneva, Switzerland) who received the Chemical Science poster prize, Sara R. G. Fernandes (University of Lisbon, Portugal) who received the Dalton Transactions poster prize, and Errui Li (Zhejiang University, China) who received the RSC Advances poster prize. There was a fantastic array of posters on display at the meeting, and we would like to extend a huge congratulations to all those who presented.

The second Bioorthogonal & Bioresponsive symposium will be held at the Institute of Genetics & Molecular Medicine in Edinburgh on the 6^th and 7^th of June 2019. Chemical Science is proud to sponsor the symposium and our new Assistant Editor Amelia Newman will be attending.

The symposium aims to bring together chemists and biologists interested in the latest advances in bioorthogonal and bioresponsive strategies. Talks will highlight state-of-the-art work from leading UK and international experts, and speakers include Jason Chin, Ben Davis, Karen Faulds, Sarah Heilshorn, Ludovic Jullien and Vincent Rotello.

It’s not too late to join us at this exciting meeting – registration is still open at the RSC Events webpage. The registration deadline is 31^st May 2019.
