About the conference
IDW is dedicated to fostering collaboration and advancing knowledge in inorganic chemistry in an inclusive environment. Since its initiation in 1968 by Barry Lever, former Emeritus Professor at York University, this conference has typically attracted 100-150 researchers at recent meetings across Ontario and Quebec. The weekend events - presentation, workshop, mixer and banquet - will provide an unparalleled opportunity to connect with peers, learn from experts, and present your own cutting-edge research. Engage in lively discussions and contribute to the future of inorganic chemistry in a stimulating environment.
Conference highlights
