ichc 2011 - 23rd International Conference on Heterocyclic Chemistry ichc2011

On behalf of the Organising Committee of the 23rd International Congress on Heterocyclic Chemistry (ICHC-23), the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry (ISHC), and the Universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow, I extend a warm welcome to you to take part in ICHC-23 in Glasgow in 2011. The Congress will be held at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) on the banks of the river Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland between 31 July and 5 August 2011.
In conjunction with our International Advisory Committee we plan to have an exciting range of cutting edge heterocyclic chemistry on offer to reflect recent advances in a truly international coverage. At this stage we envisage five main themes of heterocyclic chemistry: synthetic methodology, natural product and complex molecule synthesis, materials, medicinal chemistry and nanochemistry.
The conference centre (SECC) is one of the largest integrated conference and exhibition centres in Europe. It has a city centre location with rail and motorway links and is just 15 minutes from Glasgow International Airport.
The city of Glasgow is a warm welcoming and vibrant city. It has world-renowned reputation for friendliness and genuine warmth towards visitors. Glaswegians are proud of their city and are delighted to share it with visitors.
Dynamic Glasgow is in the heart of Scotland and is steeped in culture with elegant Victorian streets, squares, parks and gardens. The city has one of the finest collection of civic arts in the UK, including works by Botticelli, Degas, Van Gogh and Rembrandt. The city is the home to Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. There are over 800 restaurants and bars. The city boasts the best shopping in the UK outside London; being more compact, some would even say better than London.
The city is easy to navigate with a comprehensive public transport network and excellent rail, road and air links.
We do hope that you will come and join us for the heterocyclic chemistry and to enjoy our city.

Colin Suckling, ICHC-23 Chairman
