On behalf of the orga­niz­ing com­mit­tee, I am pleased to announce the 7th Inter­na­tion­al Sym­po­sium on Acid-Base Catal­y­sis (ABC‑7), which will be held from May 12 to May 15,  2013 at Shi­na­gawa, Tokyo, Japan.

The ABC is a suc­cess­ful series of sym­posia. The 7th ABC will pro­vide a forum for sci­en­tists and engi­neers from both acad­e­mia and indus­try to dis­cuss most recent devel­op­ments and tech­no­log­i­cal oppor­tu­ni­ties in this vibrant area of research as well as the past ABC sym­posia, pro­mot­ing a glob­al and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary approach towards both fun­da­men­tal sci­ence and indus­tri­al appli­ca­tions of acid-base catal­y­sis. We hope many peo­ple engag­ing in the acid-base catal­y­sis field par­tic­i­pate in ABC‑7.

The sci­en­tif­ic activ­i­ties of the sym­po­sium will be held at TKP Gar­den City Shi­na­gawa, which is in front of Shi­na­gawa Sta­tion in Tokyo. This area has good access to Nari­ta Inter­na­tion­al Air­port (total time: 70~80 min.) and Hane­da Air­port (Tokyo Inter­na­tion­al air­port) (total time: 15~20 min.).

On detailed infor­ma­tion on abstract sub­mis­sion, reg­is­tra­tion, access to the con­fer­ence venue, and sci­en­tif­ic pro­grams, please vis­it our web­site. http://www.shokubai.org/abc/index.html

Please note the dead­line for abstract sub­mis­sion is Novem­ber 16, 2012.
