The 15th International Symposium on Inorganic Ring Systems

Welcome to the website of the 15th International Symposium on Inorganic Ring Systems. The symposium will be held at Uji city in Kyoto prefecture, Japan on June 24 (Sun) to 29 (Fri), 2018.

This conference occurs every three years and is the premier international showcase for Main Group Chemistry, including Organometallic Chemistry and Inorganic Materials Chemistry. This is the first IRIS meeting to be hosted in Japan. The IRIS meetings bring together approximately 250 scientists including world leading professors, postdoctoral fellows and research students from around the world. Plenary lectures and keynote lectures will be presented by internationally renowned scientists.

IRIS-15 will be held in conjunction with ICRIS 2018 under the support of Insitute for Chemical Research (ICR), Kyoto University and ”Frontier and Interdisciplinary Research Core for Deepening Investigations and Promoting Collaboration in Chemistry-oriented Fields”.

In addition, we will be honouring Prof. Robert West on his 90th birthday and celebrating his chemistry.

Please use the menu bar to get the details you need.
