Heterocyclic Meetings

The most famous and popular meeting in the Heterocyclic and Synthesis Group calendar is the Lakeland Symposium on Heterocyclic and Synthetic Chemistry held in Grasmere every 2 years.  

This has been a fixture of the group's calendar for over a quarter of a century and attracts organic chemists from all over the world to hear some outstanding heterocyclic and synthetic chemistry and enjoy the social interactions the format allows.  

The meeting is able to attract top-flight speakers from across the world and is always over-subscribed - the next meetings are in May 2009 and May 2011, and details are circulated in the Autumn newsletter of the preceding year.  

In alternate years, we are involved in a series of joint meetings with the organic chemistry division of the Italian Chemical Society. 

• 2010 meeting will be in the UK
• 2008 meeting was held in Lerici near Pisa, Italy
• 2006 UK meeting was held in Harrogate 

Every year we organise a one-day Autumn meeting at an industrial venue and this meeting now incorporates a number of postgraduate speakers.  

A further one-day is held in early January in London and is followed by an AGM.
