The International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) is a significant new global symposia series supporting the launch of the new RSC flagship journal Chemical Science. 

During 2010, the first three symposia will be held on three continents, over three sequential weeks, focusing on distinct subject areas as follows: 

6-9 July 2010, San Francisco, USA 

13-16 July 2010, Budapest, Hungary 

20-23 July 2010, Hong Kong, China 

Dr Richard Pike, Chief Executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry, is excited by the scale and high quality of the series: "Each ISACS event will present a unique opportunity to hear from a new generation of dynamic, internationally renowned speakers. High quality presentations will review cutting edge developments and highlight future challenges in each research area. The global scale and wide coverage of this symposia series is very much aligned to the mission of the RSC, namely to 'advance the chemical sciences'." 

The programme for each ISACS event will feature a single stream of eighteen plenary lectures complemented by extensive poster sessions with plenty of time dedicated to networking. Delegates will have the opportunity to present their research within the poster sessions.
