To honour the recipients of the QBIC Society Awards, Dr. Martin Srnec (2020 award) and Dr. Ragnar Björnsson (2021 award) we will hold a two-day mini online symposium on the 5th and 7th of July 2021.
We are delighted to have secured a number of excellent international speakers across the fields of theoretical, computational, and synthetic chemistry.

Following on the highly popular series of QBIC meetings in Warwick (1999), Lund (2003), Český Krumlov (2011) and Bath (2018), the fifth Quantum Bio·Inorganic Chemistry Conference took place in Marseille, France, on July 8-10, 2019. More than 70 participants, including many young scientists, attended from all over the world. As with previous meetings, QBIC-V covered a wide range of topics in computational inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, ranging from development of novel theoretical methods to cutting edge applications.
