STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it will host the Tetrahedron Virtual Conference. The event is projected as a real-time virtual platform offering low cost online access to the high quality content to be presented at the Tenth Tetrahedron Symposium in Paris on June 24-26, 2009.
From June 24, virtual delegates will have access to real-time video webcasts of selected presentations during the three days of the symposium and to the archived content for three months after the event. As well as access to various speakers, including a chemistry Nobel Laureate, virtual delegates have access to selected posters presented at the conference; the opportunity to visit virtual exhibitor booths; take part in scheduled chat sessions with selected speakers; and network with other online delegates.
The Tenth Tetrahedron Symposium also celebrates 50 years of Tetrahedron Letters and will bring together 1,150 delegates to hear from the speakers. Topics to be addressed span the full range of organic chemistry, including new developments in synthetic methodology, objectives in total synthesis, functional and mechanistic studies of biological systems, and advances in new materials.
Online delegates can watch real-time presentations detailing the latest research by speakers including Carlos Barbas of the Scripps Research Institute, USA; Thomas Carell - University of Munich, Germany; Jean-Marie Lehn - University of Strasbourg, France; Steve Ley - University of Cambridge, UK; Kim Janda - Scripps Research Institute, USA; Richard Schrock - MIT, USA; Masakatsu Shibasaki - University of Tokyo, Japan; Barry M. Trost - Stanford University, USA; and George Whitesides - University of Harvard, USA. The new virtual platform is seen to enable greater participation from the global organic chemistry community in the celebratory symposium.
