Quebec/Ontario Mini-Symposium for Synthetic and Bioorganic Chemistry

The Quebec/Ontario Mini-Symposium for Synthetic and Bioorganic Chemistry (QOMSBOC), now in its 36th year, is dedicated to the exhibition of graduate research in the chemical sciences, and is the premier regional meeting in organic and bio-organic chemistry. The conference is held every year and alternates between Quebec and Ontario Universities. It is unique in its focus on graduate presentations, and of the ~200 anticipated participants, most will be Ph.D. or M.Sc. students from Eastern Canada.

 

Given the success of the Canadian training system, many QOMSBOC attendees go on to high-profile positions in academia and industry, and many of these individuals fondly remember the event as one of their first experiences with public speaking. QOMSBOC 2025 will feature a variety of oral presentations given by Ph.D./M.Sc. students, as well as three plenary lectures from world leaders in both the academic and private sectors.  In addition to the lectures and poster sessions, there will be ample opportunity for collegial interactions at the numerous social events interspersed throughout the three day event.
