Chemical Science symposia on sustainable energy

Registration is now open for our Chemical Science symposia, which are to be held in two locations in China (Harbin and Xiamen) in December.

The NSFC-RSC International Symposium on Energy Chemistry will be held in Harbin, China from 7th-9th of December, you can register now here.

The Chemical Science Symposium on Sustainable Energy will be held in Xiamen, China on 10th of December, you can register now here.

The theme of the Chemical Science Symposium will be renewable energy and sustainability, bringing together leading researchers in the field of energy science and related subjects. The primary focus will be on recent advances in sustainable and renewable energy including solar energy conversion, artificial photosynthesis, photocatalysts, water splitting, gas capture, separation and storage and fuel cells. The symposia will also cover interdisciplinary studies at the energy interface with other subjects such as the properties and applications of materials for energy and sustainability, nanotechnology, photocatalysis, photonics and biotechnology.

Chemical Science Associate Editors Vincent Artero, Kazunari Domen, James McCusker and Jihong Yu will be speaking at both symposia, and Executive Editor May Copsey will be attending.

UK-India Symposium on Advances in Organic Chemistry

The fourth RSC-CRSI (Royal Society of Chemistry – Chemical Research Society of India) meeting in the UK was on Advances in Inorganic Chemistry, held in Manchester on 26th September, and Advances in Organic Chemistry, held in Oxford on 28th September. Chemical Science Assistant Editor, Sarah Whitbread, attended the event at Jesus College, Oxford.

The symposium brought together Indian and UK researchers to share their knowledge and facilitate discussions regarding future UK-India collaborations. The event was very successful with interesting talks from both UK and Indian researchers. After the talks and posters there was an insightful discussion on potential areas of collaboration in Chemical Sciences and interdisciplinary between India and the UK with a panel of top scientists in UK and India, including Royal Society of Chemistry President, Professor Carol Robinson.

Daniele Antermite from Imperial College London was awarded the Chemical Science poster prize for his work on the C(sp3)–H Arylation of Pyrrolidines and Piperidines with C(3) Directing Groups. Congratulations Daniele!
