23nd International Conference on Phosphorus Chemistry (ICPC23)

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 23nd International Conference on Phosphorus Chemistry (ICPC23) that will be held from May 31 to June 4, 2020 in Ningbo, China. Since its inauguration in 1964 in honor of Georg Wittig, the late Nobel prize winner (Heidelberg, Germany), the ICPC series has over the past more than 50 years continued to be the premier international meeting devoted uniquely to PHOSPHORUS chemistry in all its domains, providing a broad perspective on the latest developments from leading laboratories around the world.

All areas of modern phosphorus chemistry will be considered, including interdisciplinary research being done at the frontiers of biology, material sciences and applied/industrial chemistry. The conference will be organized around four interrelated themes: 1) Recent advances in new reagents and methods in phosphorus (asymmetric) syntheses, including theoretical aspects; 2) New applications of phosphorus catalysts in syntheses; 3) Latest developments concerning phosphorus-based compounds in life & health sciences, including methodologies for studying phosphorus-involving processes in living organisms; 4) Phosphorus material chemistry and applied science. Graduate students, postdoctorals and faculty in the early stage of their careers are particularly encouraged to participate.

By bringing together academic and industry researchers from diverse areas of phosphorus chemistry, ICPC23 will offer an exciting opportunity for the dissemination and exchange of new ideas, for networking with colleagues and for establishing and strengthening collaborations. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Ningbo in 2020!
