Welcome
Welcome to the RSC Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Dalton Poster Symposium 2022, which celebrates the breadth and strength of inorganic chemistry research by those in the early stages of their careers. As a community, we are committed to supporting early career researchers in the inorganic chemistry community, and we are delighted to see this event go from strength to strength. This year, we were delighted to receive 93 applications 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 inorganic chemistry taking place. We are also very pleased to welcome Dr James Wilton-Ely from Imperial College London and Dr Ruth Webster from the University of Bath to the meeting today, to deliver our plenary lectures. Dr Wilton-Ely is the 2021 winner of the Dalton Community mid-career Award: Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Award for contributions to the application of metals in biological sensing and medical imaging. Dr Webster is the winner of the 2022 Dalton Division early career award: Sir Edward Frankland Fellowship for outstanding research including mechanistic elucidation of iron- catalysed, atom-efficient transformations of main group elements. This symposium wouldn’t be taking place at all without the generous support of the Wilkinson Charitable Foundation, and the enthusiastic support of a large number of academic supervisors and their research groups. In addition, Dalton Transactions has kindly provided a poster prize, which will be selected by the participants themselves. Please do enjoy talking with your fellow delegates and judges and take some time to appreciate and learn about the very best in inorganic chemistry research.
