Introduction

The RSC is proud to be hosting the Transatlantic Frontiers of Chemistry Symposium in 2008.

The symposia are designed to provide an opportunity for early career chemists to begin successful international collaborations, and to exchange ideas and experience. 

The first Transatlantic Frontiers of Chemistry (TFOC) symposium was held in Durham, New Hampshire, US in August 2006. It was organised and sponsored by the American Chemical Society (ACS), the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).

More information

Transatlantic Frontiers of Chemistry is a biennial meeting, attended by 100 early career chemists from across the US, Germany and the UK. The programme is constructed to highlight some of the recent key advances across a broad range of disciplines within the Chemical Sciences. 

Places at the conference are given by invitation from each chemical society, and every participant is invited to either give an oral presentation or to present a poster in one of the designated poster sessions.

More details on the programme, speakers and venue information will be posted on this site in early 2008.
