IKCOC-16

The International Kyoto Conference on Organic Chemistry (IKCOC) was first held in 1979 under the leadership of the late Professor Zen-ichi Yoshida (1925–2023) to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Kinka Chemical Society. Since then, IKCOC has been held every three years in Kyoto, establishing itself as a prominent international forum in the field of organic chemistry.

In today’s world, where the significance of science and technology continues to grow, organic chemistry plays a central role as the foundation for groundbreaking scientific discoveries and technological innovations. Japanese chemists have long been at the forefront of this field, contributing numerous original and influential achievements.

The aim of IKCOC is to bring together chemists and engineers from around the world to exchange ideas and discuss key developments in organic chemistry and related disciplines. Distinguished scientists, including Novel Prize Laureates are invited to deliver lectures on topics such as efficiency in organic synthesis, organic synthesis for materials science, and applications in the life sciences. Through stimulating and in-depth discussions, the conference seeks to advance the field and foster international collaboration.

IKCOC welcomes participants from both academia and industry, offering a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge developments in organic chemistry. Attendees will also have the chance to experience the rich cultural heritage of Kyoto, a city renowned for its history and beauty.
