Welcome Message
Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the 2022 Organic chemistry poster symposium, the Organic Chemistry Community’s, formerly Organic Division, flagship event for PhD students. We are delighted to have such a wide range of delegates here today from across the organic chemistry community in both industry and academia. It is particularly nice to be back to an in-person event again in Burlington House after two years of hosting the event online only. Thank you for taking the time to come along to meet the very best of the next generation of scientists. We are also very grateful for the financial support we have received from industry. We are indebted to today’s headline sponsor Syngenta, alongside all our sponsors listed on page 5). Today wouldn’t be taking place at all, of course, without the enthusiastic support of a large number of academic supervisors and their research groups. This year we were delighted to receive a great response from PhD researchers to take part in the Symposium, and the pre-selection committee felt privileged to be given this insight into the range and depth of high-quality, innovative organic chemistry taking place across the UK and Ireland. Finally, we’d like to extend a very warm welcome to the 40 poster presenters taking part in the competition today: your chemistry has already triumphed, so please relax and tell us all about it. Indeed, we encourage everyone to engage fully with the chemistry on display, and to enjoy a day of what we hope you will agree is organic chemistry at its very best.
Professor David O’Hagan Organic Chemistry Community Council President
