In this section, your ideas for IYC2011 can start to become reality. Here, you can submit activities for consideration and, after a short review, they will be listed below and any related events will populate the IYC calendar. Activities listed here have a clearly defined theme and describe how, when, and where they will take place.

If you are not quite ready to submit a plan, keep working at it and come back soon. And remember, you can always browse and search this forum to find out what others are planning and even add your own comments to the discussion.

Antimal - Antimalarial Drugs: chemistry, development and future challenges Maggi Churchouse   |   added on Jan 24, 2011    |    United Kingdom The Antimal project is funded as part of the EU 6th Framework Directive, and supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector. The meeting is relevant to basic and translational scientists with an interest in medicinal chemistry, chemotherapy, and pharmacology
Topic: antimal, antimalaria, infectious disease, neglected tropical disease, medicinal chemistry, chemotherapy, pharmacology, artemisinin, resistance, malaria, antifolate drug discovery, high throughput (hts), kinome, antiplasmodia, falcipain cysteine, kinases, trioxaquine, lipids, quinoline, peroxide, plasmodia, organic synthesis, screening, drug discovery, drug development, combination chemotherapy, p., falciparum, p. vivax Audience: basic and translational scientists, students, professional chemists, professors, educators, industrial chemists, universities, post graduates, research scientists, educational institutions

Fragments III: Third RSC-BMCS Fragment-based Drug Discovery meeting Maggi Churchouse   |   added on Jan 24, 2011    |    United Kingdom The meeting will continue to focus on case studies in Fragment-based Drug Discovery that have delivered compounds to late-stage medicinal chemistry, preclinical or clinical programmes. These case studies will include successful examples from all types of fragment-based approaches, including high concentration, NMR, and SPR.
Topic: fragment-based drug discovery, compounds, late-stage medicinal chemistry, preclinical programmes, clinical programmes, fragment-based approaches, high concentration, nmr, spr, x-ray screening Audience: scientists from any discipline with an interest in expanding their knowledge and experience of fbdd, students, professional chemists, professors, educators, industrial chemists, research scientists

Images from the Dawn of Science - Observing the Origins of Modern Microscopy Jacqui Colgate   |   added on Jan 24, 2011    |    United Kingdom Standard accounts have perpetuated the belief that single-lensed microscopes can generate only indistinct and chromatic images. Numerous attempts to reprise those pioneering experiments have recently been made by several technical groups, and their results have served to perpetuate this belief.
Topic: celebrating chemistry, chemistry education Audience: students, general public, women chemists, educational institutions, tertiary education, secondary school students, secondary schools, secondary schools students, graduate students

Electrochem 2011 Jacqui Colgate   |   added on Jan 24, 2011    |    United Kingdom Electrochem 2011 is organized jointly by the RSC Electrochemistry Interest Group, the SCI Electrochemical Technology Group, the Electroanalytical Sensing Systems Group, the British Carbon Group, and the ICorr Council. Sponsors: ISE
Topic: celebrating chemistry, conferences, networking, chemistry education, workshops, seminars, sustainable and green chemistry Audience: students, professional chemists, professors, educators, industrial chemists, post graduate students, research scientists, women chemists
