The First Dalton Transactions International Symposium will be held in China in October, 2009. The event will provide a good opportunity for inorganic, organometallic and bioinorganic chemistry researchers in China to meet and network with prestigious chemists from Europe, USA, and China.

Attendance at the symposium is completely free and Jamie Humphrey, editor of Dalton Transactions, looks forward to welcoming many scientists to the event.

The Royal Society of Chemistry will partner up with two universities - Fudan University in Shanghai, and Nanjing University in Nanjing to hold the two meetings, and the programme will consist of a series of scientific lectures and poster events.

Honored speakers include: 

• Dr Simon Aldridge, University of Oxford, UK
• Professor John Arnold, University of California, Berkeley, USA
• Professor Xianhe Bu, Nankai University, China
• Professor Jianping Lang, Suzhou University, China
• Professor Kay Severin, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
• Professor Hong Yan, Nanjing University, China
• Professor Dongyuan Zhou, Fudan University, China         

Researchers wishing to submit scientific posters for the symposium should contact Ms. Zheng Chunxiao. Poster prizes will be awarded during the symposium at each venue.
