Welcome

The 17th ACC at Melbourne (23-28 July 2017) will be an exciting, unprecedented opportunity for chemists to network with world leaders in chemistry, and to hear about the latest, increasingly boundary spanning chemical research. The congress will be held in the beautiful, cosmopolitan, and multicultural city of Melbourne in parallel with eight other international congresses that span all aspects of chemistry. These congresses, which are part of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute’s centenary year celebration, will attract 3500 of the best chemistry researchers and academics. The 17ACC will provide an excellent opportunity for Asian chemists to strengthen current networks and to establish new collaborative links within Asian, Oceania, and the rest of the world.

Call for abstracts now open

The 17th Asian Chemical Congress [ACC] Organising Committee invites authors to submit abstracts for presentation within the technical program. Submissions are sought for oral and poster presentations and can be made via the 17ACC Presenters’ Portal which can be accessed via the website. The portal lists the areas of chemistry covered by 17ACC and the themes addressed in each area.

17ACC is part of a much larger congress program partnering 8 other established specialist international meetings covering the whole range of chemical sciences, these are:-

  • RACI National Centenary Conference [General Chemistry]
  • Carbon 2017 (The World Carbon Conference [Materials chemistry]),
  • Chemeca (Industrial chemistry / Chemical engineering),
  • AIMECS17 (The AMFC Conference [Medicinal Chemistry]),
  • ACCC6 (The Asian Conference on Coordination Chemistry [Inorganic Chemistry]),
  • GSC8 (Green and Sustainable Chemistry)
  • Elsevier's Tetrahedron - an Asian seminar. [Organic chemistry]
  • AHeDD [e-drug discovery[ medicinal chemistry]]

As a partner meeting, 17ACC delegates have the opportunity to attend all events under one registration in other words you pay one registration fee and can attend any of the partner meeting programs.

If your field is better covered by one of the partner meetings you may submit your abstracts directly to any of the specialty conferences. Further information can be found at www.racicongress.com.
