9th AFMC International Medicinal Chemistry Symposium
The 9th AFMC International Medicinal Chemistry Symposium 2013 (AIMECS13) was authorized by the Asian Medicinal Chemistry Consortium (AFMC) and entrusted with the “National Tsinghua University” and “Sinification”. Society (Taipei) co-sponsored. Since 1997, AFMC has regularly held this large-scale international conference in the Asia-Pacific region. Through this organization, it has coordinated and promoted, handled exchange activities, and promoted research and exchange of information on medicinal chemistry worldwide. After the first session was held in Japan in 1997, countries in mainland China, Turkey, Australia, and other Asian countries held regular bi-annual meetings, making this conference one of the most important and representative international pharmaceutical chemistry conferences in the Asia-Pacific region.
This time, under the active efforts and efforts of Prof. Hu Jiru, the Department of Chemistry of the National Tsinghua University, he succeeded in securing the right to host the ninth Asia Pacific International Conference on Medicinal Chemistry and invited well-known experts and scholars both at home and abroad to come to Taiwan for academic research. Experience sharing and exchanges demonstrate Taiwan’s research strength in pharmaceutical chemistry, enhance domestic academic status, allow international experts to have an opportunity to understand the results of Taiwan’s efforts, and provide international exchange and cooperation platforms.
“AIMECS13″ was held at the Grand Hotel Taipei from October 15 to October 18, 2013 for four days. A total of 544 people attended the conference, including 297 foreign guests from 23 countries, including the President of the American Chemical Society, the President of the European Union Pharmaceutical Chemistry Council, Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Turkey, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. The president of the relevant chemical society in the region personally visited us. Prof. Negishi, a Nobel laureate, gave a speech at the opening ceremony of the conference, including seminars, seminars, and more than 100 research papers. In addition, the “2013 Cross-Strait Medicinal Chemistry Forum” was specially convened, and more than 30 leaders and scholars of pharmaceutical chemistry in China were invited to attend the conference. In this way, the academic forum will be jointly held to enrich the agenda of the conference and increase the participation of domestic and foreign pharmaceutical chemistry-related academic personnel, which will double the effectiveness of the international conference in Taiwan.
The exhibition booths at home and abroad were set up at the venue to provide participants with the opportunity to visit and exchange the latest information on development of medical chemistry and create transnational cooperation among industries. The conference tour arranged for foreign participants to visit the “Martyrs" and the “National Palace Museum" so that participants could have a better understanding of the traditional culture of Taiwan and China. At the dinner of the General Assembly, we invited Indigenous Peoples Organizations to welcome guests and intersperse many interactive singing and dancing performances with Taiwanese characteristics. They were deeply loved by the international participants present and the foreigners attending the conference left a deep impression on the customs and people of Taiwan.
