This symposium will bring together exceptional researchers - all leading names in their field - to share scientific developments covering broad research areas of renewable energy, environment, materials and inorganic and organometallic catalysis; this Chemical Science Symposium will be chaired by Professor Dan Nocera, Harvard University, Editor in Chief of Chemical Science and inventor of the artificial leaf.
The Chemical Science symposium will be a part of the Symposium on Advanced Biological Inorganic Chemistry (SABIC) organized by the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), bringing together more than 600 scientists working in inorganic and bio-inorganic chemistry. The field of biological inorganic chemistry has seen dramatic changes over the last decades with discoveries and findings that has led to changes of our perception and understanding of the natural processes around us. For example, in recent years the understanding of the details of chemical processes in a protein active site has been translated to develop solutions for clean energy and the environment. The purpose of this symposium is to bring scientists from related disciplines together which not only highlights the most recent developments in biological inorganic chemistry but also demonstrates how the concepts developed have influenced different areas of chemistry. It will also highlight the importance of basic scientific research, which has been growing in India and is increasingly recognized on the world stage.By bringing the leaders in the field together for scientific discussion will foster the exchange of ideas and scientific collaborations and further enable these areas of fundamental research to tackle the global challenges in clean and sustainable energy, biology and materials science.
