Welcome Message
Dear Colleagues On behalf of the Scientific Committee, we are delighted to welcome you to Keble College, Oxford, for the 27th International Symposium: Synthesis in Organic Chemistry. It is fantastic to have participation from a wide range of delegates from across the organic chemistry community, including industry and academia, and from around the world. Indeed, at the time of writing, we have delegates and speakers from over 30 different countries, an indication of the international prestige of this symposium. As you may know, the first meeting was held in Oxford in 1969, and since then our meetings have been held biennially, alternating between Oxford and Cambridge with the exception of a hiatus in 2021 due to the pandemic. Synthetic organic chemistry has evolved since our first meeting, however the purpose of the symposium remains as true today as it was in 1969; providing an international showcase for the core area of organic chemistry - synthesis - covering all aspects of contemporary organic synthesis and providing a forum for the ever more exciting methodologies and strategies that continue to emerge. We hope you are as eager as we are to see the talks from our incredible line up of speakers covering some of the latest developments in our field, of what we hope you will agree celebrates organic synthesis at its very best. We are also delighted to welcome a fantastic range of poster presenters who we know you will not want to miss. Indeed, we encourage everyone to engage fully with the chemistry presented, to participate in fruitful discussions with colleagues, and to enjoy both the scientific and informal aspects of the programme. If you have any questions during your time here, please contact a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Events Team who will be pleased to assist you. Once again, thank you for joining us for what we hope will be a most interesting and interactive conference.
