ISOM 25
We are thrilled to announce that we are a GOLD sponsor of the upcoming ISOM 25 event! Additionally, we are excited to award two poster prizes to recognize outstanding research and innovation. In addition to our sponsorship, we will be actively participating in the event with a lecture and a booth.
Celebrating a dual anniversary
This year's symposium is particularly special as it marks the 25th edition of ISOM, celebrating its silver jubilee. Since its inception in 1976, ISOM has been the premier forum for the global olefin metathesis community, bringing together scientists from academia and industry to discuss advancements and innovations in the field.
Additionally, 2025 commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Yves Chauvin, Robert H. Grubbs, and Richard R. Schrock for their groundbreaking work in developing the metathesis method in organic synthesis. This milestone provides a unique opportunity to reflect on past achievements and look forward to future innovations.
Umicore's role in metathesis
Umicore has been at the forefront of advancements in olefin metathesis, contributing significantly to industrial applications of this transformative chemical reaction. Our commitment to innovation and sustainability aligns perfectly with the goals of ISOM, making our sponsorship a natural fit.
Special presentation by Umicore delegate
We are also excited to announce that Angelino Doppiu, Principal Scientist at Umicore Precious Metals Chemistry, will be giving a talk at the symposium. He will share insights into the industrial development of ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts, highlighting Umicore's pioneering work in this area.
Join us in Liège
We invite you to join us in Liège for this landmark event. The symposium promises a stimulating environment for networking, learning, and celebrating the remarkable progress in olefin metathesis. We look forward to seeing you there and sharing our latest developments and insights.
