Welcome
You are warmly invited to join us in Birmingham, UK, in September 2027 for the 21st International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC).
Set in the dynamic and culturally vibrant city of Birmingham, the conference will feature:
-
An exciting, diverse and high-quality scientific programme, spread across five days, showcasing the very best and latest research in macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry
-
Invited and contributed talks given by a wide range of speakers, from prize-winning scientists to early-career researchers
-
Multiple poster sessions with flash presentations and prizes for the best posters – an excellent opportunity to network, showcase and discuss your work
-
Added-value sessions of broad appeal to delegates of all career stages and interests, including publishing workshops, careers advice, and panel sessions
-
A welcome reception, conference banquet and plentiful networking breaks
Oral and poster abstract opportunities are available to all. We encourage you, whatever your career stage, to submit your work. Submission dates and further information can be found on this page.
Easily reachable by international travel links and perfectly located for exploring the surrounding scenery of England and Wales, Birmingham has a wealth of things to see and do. We are excited to be hosting ISMSC 21 in Birmingham and look forward to welcoming you in September 2027.
