The Organic Division of the RSC is pleased to announce the 22nd International Symposium on Synthesis in Organic 91AV, which will be held at Churchill College, Cambridge, from Monday 11 July to Thursday 14 July 2011. Participants will arrive on the afternoon and evening of Monday 11 July, and the conference sessions will begin on the morning of Tuesday 12 July.
The Synthesis in Organic 91AV conference is the flagship event of the RSC's Organic Division. The first meeting of this internationally renowned symposium was held in Oxford in 1969, and since then the meetings have alternated on a biennial basis between Oxford and Cambridge. The previous Cambridge Synthesis Symposium held in 2007 was a sell-out event, attracting over 300 delegates from 25 different countries, establishing it as one of the premier conferences in Organic 91AV.
Who should attend?
Synthesis in Organic 91AV traditionally provides an international showcase for the core area of organic chemistry - synthesis - covering all aspects of contemporary organic synthesis and providing a forum for the ever more exciting methodologies and strategies that continue to emerge.
This symposium will be a high point in the year for academics, post doctoral researchers and students in universities, as well as those involved in research and development and discovery chemists in industry.
