Speaker: We have a great line-up covering various aspects of sustainability, not only the

The Symposium, which will take place at Queen Mary and will free to attend, will focus on emerging areas of sustainability - Sustainable Chemistry, Flow Chemistry, Bio-catalysis, and New Reactivities in Synthesis - with the aim to create future bilateral partnerships.

This event follows the launch of the Indo-UK consortium focused on Innovation & Sustainability Chemistry (India-UK ISCC), a consortium supported by the RSC and BEIS, which for the moment comprises 13 scientists from 12 different institutions spread across the various parts of India and the UK covering individual expertise and with a view to cover both regional diversity and equality across the two nations.

During the symposium, we'll also be hosting Dr. Srivari Chandrashekhar, the DST Secretary, Professor Tom Welton, who will be representing the RSC, and a UKEIRI and a BEIS representative. We will also be launching our Virtual Reality Institute for Sustainable Chemistry, which is a VR-based training and education centre. As a matter of fact, if one of you or one of your students would like to be part of an immersive VR experience and communicate your groups' science through a unique VR poster session, we have 35 slots available, so please submit your abstracts asap (https://twitter.com/i/status/1610247006341025792). Again, the event is totally free, but you will need to register as space is limited.
