The RSC Organic Chemistry Community Midlands Regional Meeting 2025 will be held in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham on Thursday 24th April 2025. The meeting will showcase synthetic chemistry (organic, chemical biology, medicinal) from across the Midlands region.
The meeting is free to attend, but registration is required. To register, please click "Book Now" on the top right of this page.
The meeting will include a poster session, with entries encouraged from PhD students, postdocs and early career researchers.
