Official Information:

The 13th meeting of the French-American Chemical Society, focusing on cutting edge organic chemistry, will take place in France, in the heart of Alsace. Throughout all these meetings, the very high calibre of scientific scholarship intended by the founders, Pierre Potier and E. J. Corey has been maintained, and this year is no exception.

The first edition of this meeting was held in Paris in 1989 in a friendly and informal ambiance to encourage maximum interaction between the participants of both countries. A number of famous chemists, coming from the US and France, participated and exchanged ideas with great enthusiasm. They appreciated the high quality and interactive nature of this meeting.

Unmistakably, spending this time together in this special environment allows quality scientific discussions and exchanges, generates new opportunities for collaboration between academics and industry, and provides the opportunity to interact meaningfully with representatives from national and local chemistry companies. The traditional mix of confirmed and younger scientists from both university and industry environments has been an essential element in the success of this meeting. This year again, we welcome students to participate in this meeting and we have also made a particular effort to facilitate their presence at the Conference site.

FACS XIII will be held under the sponsorship of the new University of Strasbourg (UDS) and the CNRS in Obernai, a charming village on the “wine road” in the heart of Alsace and a stone’s throw from Mont St Odile.

We invite you to come and participate in this special event  that is held every other year, which we hope will be rewarded by a memorable and enriching interaction between friends and colleagues, while enhancing your knowledge of organic chemistry.        

We wish you all, speakers and attendees alike, a highly stimulating Symposium, both scientifically and personally.
