Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The Israel Chemical Society will hold its 77th annual meeting at the Kfar Maccabiah Convention Center in Ramat Gan on February 7-8, 2012. The annual meeting of the ICS is one of the major scientific events in Israel, bringing together researchers from academia, industry, chemical education, R&D and government.

This year’s meeting is organized by the Chemistry Department of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Hosting an international academic institution has become a tradition at the ICS meetings and this year will be no exception. We are happy and much honored to announce that the meeting this year will include the participation of a delegation of distinguished researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, including (partial list) Dan Neumark, Dean Toste, Richmond Sarpong, Carlos Bustamante, Ron Cohen, and Gabor Somorjai.

The meeting will encompass all facets of modern interdisciplinary chemical research in 7 plenary lectures, 18 parallel sessions and two poster sessions. The symposia will include Keynote and Invited talks. The accompanying Call for Abstracts details the instructions and requirements for the submissions. We invite you all to submit your most exciting and recent work in all topics related to chemistry. The committee will select invited talks from the corresponding oral abstracts submitted to this Call. As the poster session is limited in number, we ask that those wishing to present scientific posters, will send their abstracts as soon as possible. The two poster sessions will allow young scientists to present their most recent achievements.

We look forward to seeing you in Ramat Gan in February,

Professor Gabriel Lemcoff, Chairman
