The provisional programme for the IRMG virtual meeting on 10th September is now available on the Meetings and Events page.

The IRMG Young Investigator Award for 2020 has been awarded to Claire McMullin from the University of Bath. Congratulations to Claire on this award, which recognises her excellent contributions to uncovering mechanistic details in organometallic chemistry and catalysis through computational studies.

Following on from the first, and very successful, IRMG virtual discussion group meeting on 7^th July we will be holding a second meeting on 10^th September 2020. As with the first meeting, the programme will include plenary lectures alongside talks from PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. Please save the date in your diaries.

To register for the meeting, or to contribute a talk to the programme, please email the organisers at the University of Bath (IRMG@bath.ac.uk) with your details. More details and a link to the Zoom meeting will be provided to registered delegates nearer the time.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

The IRMG will be holding a “virtual” online discussion group meeting on Tuesday the 7^th of July from 1-4pm (UK time). The schedule includes plenary lectures from Stuart Macgregor (Heriot-Watt University) and Carole Duboc (University of Grenobles-Alpes) alongside talks from PhD students and post-doctoral researchers.

To register for the meeting, please email Sam de Visser (sam.devisser@manchester.ac.uk) with your details. A link to the Zoom meeting will be provided to registered delegates.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Just a quick reminder to IRMG members that the early bird registration deadline for the Faraday Discussion Meeting on mechanistic processes in organometallic chemistry (2nd to 4th September 2019 in York, UK) is coming soon – 15th July 2019. We look forward to welcoming you at the meeting.

In 2020 the IRMG will celebrate its 50th birthday! There is going to be a Special Issue in Dalton Transactions to mark the occasion. Please consider submitting an article for this. The issue is planned for Spring 2020, so there is plenty of time to get some work started.
