PresentationThe first UK-Spain Organometallic Chemistry Symposium (USOCS2019) will be held in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, in September 17th-19th.

The Organizing Committee cordially welcomes you to attend to this meeting where we will celebrate the full diversity of modern organometallic chemistry research from both countries. In addition, the symposium will include a plenary lecture from Professor Luis Oro, recipient of the RSC´s Lord Lewis Prize in 2018. This meeting will provide a forum in which the research of established and early-career inorganic chemists working in Spain or the UK can present their work and enjoy networking opportunities. Invited lectures from Spanish and British leading researchers as well as oral and poster contributions have been programmed.
