Heterocyclic Meetings

The most famous and popular meeting in the Heterocyclic Group calendar is the Lakeland Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry held in Grasmere every 2 years. This has been a fixture for over 26 years and attracts organic chemists from all over the world to hear some outstanding heterocyclic chemistry and enjoy the social interactions the format allows. 

In alternate years, we are involved in a series of joint meetings with the organic chemistry division of the Italian Chemical Society. The meeting in 2000 was held in Folgaria, Italy. Every year we organise a one-day Autumn meeting at an industrial venue and a one-day January meeting in London followed by an AGM.

Finally, every summer we organise a one-day meeting for postgraduates to present their work. This has been running for some 13 years and many postgraduate speakers have become members of the group and attended our other meetings.
