ISRUM 2018, registration open
International Symposium on Reactive Intermediates and Unusual Molecules (ISRIUM) 2018
July 15-20, 2018
Congressi Stefano Franscini (CSF), Monte Verità, Ascona
The conference is one in a series of meetings of chemists who share an interest in understanding the mechanisms by which chemical transformations take place, and identify the reactive intermediates that occur in the course of these transformations. The success of this field since the 1950s had led to the incorporation of mechanistic thinking into the underlying vocabulary, discourse, and teaching of chemistry. ISRIUM 2018 seeks to bring together on Monte Verità practitioners from different fields in chemistry and adjoining disciplines ranging from molecular biology to materials science, who share a mechanistic interest.
The conference will bring together about 100 scientists from all over the world for a six-day meeting, offering lectures from a distinguished group of invited speakers. Poster sessions and short presentations interspersed throughout the week aimed at giving most of the participants the opportunity to present their work in an environment encouraging informal exchange of ideas.
Website: http://www.isrium2018.ethz.ch
Deadline for submission of abstracts is Sunday, April 1, 2018.
You can submit your abstract as soon as you registered to ISRIUM 2018.
