The European Symposium on Organic Chemistry (ESOC) is a biennial scientific conference series covering research in organic chemistry. The first meeting was held in Cologne in 1979.[1][3]

History

ESOC I took place in Cologne on 20–23 August 1979, organized by the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and sponsored by the Federation of European Chemical Societies.[1][4] ESOC has since been held approximately every other year.[2][3]

In 2021, an online mini-symposium was organized during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][5]

Meeting reports and overviews have been published for multiple editions.[6][7][8][2]

Scope and format

ESOC features a single-track program of plenary and invited lectures (including award lectures in recent editions) and poster sessions spanning diverse areas of organic chemistry, including total synthesis, synthetic methodology, catalysis, medicinal chemistry and chemical biology, supramolecular chemistry, organic materials, and physical and computational organic chemistry.[3][2]

Awards and named lectures

Recent ESOC programs have included award-linked lectures such as the Patai–Rappoport Award Lecture and EuChemS Division of Organic Chemistry awards (for example, EuChemS DOC Award for Research and EuChemS DOC Young Investigator Award).[2][9]
