Launching the Chemical Science Symposium series
We’re proud to announce the launch of the first in a new series of symposia, to be held at the historic home of the Royal Society of Chemistry, at Burlington House on London’s Piccadilly.
Under the banner of our flagship Open Access journal, Chemical Science, we’ll be shining a spotlight on cutting-edge chemistry research, giving it the sort of attention that drives scientific progress and makes a real difference to all our lives.
Professor Andy Cooper, from Liverpool University, is Editor in Chief of Chemical Science. He says: "I’m excited to be involved in launching this new symposium series – the first meeting is packed with world-class speakers across a range of areas.
"We are looking for strong participation from early career scientists and future leaders, who will be the future of this discipline. I particularly look forward to learning about new, up-and-coming areas at this first event."
About the symposium
We warmly invite you to join us for the first in this series of Chemical Science symposia, and look forward to welcoming you to Burlington House.
Leading materials science researchers and emerging investigators from a broad range of backgrounds will come together to explore and celebrate the theme of the 2019 symposium – functional organic materials.
In order to provide opportunities for early career researchers, the scientific programme is accompanied by flash talks and poster sessions, with networking opportunities and discussions.
The topics covered during the symposium will include:
- chiral materials
- porous materials and covalent organic frameworks
- nanomaterials
- supramolecular and polymer chemistry
- biomaterials and bioinspired materials
Applications include materials for (bio)sensing, electro- and photo-catalysis, electronic devices, energy conversion, harvesting and storage, optoelectronics, nanomedicine and biological applications.
About the Chemical Science Symposium series
Launching this series allows us both to build the Chemical Science community and establish a link to our historical home in London. The plan is to keep it in the same location every year, while changing the theme to reflect latest trends and news, ensuring we bring together the best people from around the world.
It provides a way for our wider community to regularly stay in touch with editors and researchers across a broad range of topics in the chemical sciences. It will also be a great way of staying up to date with what's happening in the journal, from technical developments to the hot topics coming your way in future.
Caring responsibilities
The Royal Society of Chemistry is keen to encourage and enable as many people as possible to attend our events, to benefit from the networking opportunities and the chance to hear talks from leaders in the field. If you have childcare, caring responsibilities or other care needs, and would like to attend this event, please do get in touch with us to see if there’s anything we can do to help enable you to attend.
