Synopsis
On Monday 21 and Tuesday 22 September 2020, influential researchers from across Europe and the US will gather in Nottingham to present a series of lectures on the latest developments in the field of organic chemistry. This Celebration of Organic Chemistry event, jointly organised by SCI's Fine Chemicals Group and Charnwood Molecular, will celebrate the best of modern organic chemistry and will provide an overview of new methodologies and exciting applications in synthesis and beyond. The meeting will also provide a platform for early career researchers to share their vision for the future of organic chemistry.
Attendees
Bringing together leading scientists from the organic chemistry community, this meeting will be of interest to those in academia and industry who are interested in developing and applying modern organic chemistry techniques to their research.
