Pacifichem 2010
January 11, 2010
| A version of this story appeared in
Volume 88, Issue 2
Chemical scientists and engineers in countries bordering the Pacific Ocean and elsewhere are invited to submit abstracts for the 2010 International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (Pacifichem). The congress, which will take place on Dec. 15–20 in Honolulu, is sponsored jointly by the American Chemical Society, the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC), the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ), the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, the Korean Chemical Society, and the Chinese Chemical Society.
Official and up-to-date information regarding Pacifichem 2010, including the technical program information, important deadlines, and exhibit availability, along with registration, hotel, travel, and visa information, is online at pacifichem.org.
The preliminary program for Pacifichem 2010 is scheduled to be published in the July 12 issue of C&EN. The final program will be published in the Oct. 4 issue.
CSC is the host society for Pacifichem 2010, and Howard Alper, a chemistry professor at the University of Ottawa, is chairing the congress. The vice chairs are ACS's Peter J. Stang, a professor of organic chemistry at the University of Utah, and CSJ's Kazuyuki Tatsumi, a chemistry professor at Nagoya University.
Pacifichem Housing Opens In February
Pacifichem 2010 will open for housing reservations in early February, well before conference registration opens in June or the preliminary program is printed in C&EN's July 12 issue.
All attendees who book their room through the Housing Connection, the official housing bureau, will receive complimentary Internet access in their sleeping rooms. The congress does not endorse booking hotel reservations through any other source. See pacifichem.org for information. Early reservations are encouraged.
Technical sessions will be held at the Hawaii Convention Center, the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the Sheraton Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and the Westin Moana Surfrider. Sleeping rooms for Pacifichem 2010 have been blocked at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the Ala Moana Hotel, the Sheraton Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the Westin Moana Surfrider, the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, the Waikiki Marriott, the Holiday Inn Waikiki, and the Aqua Palms. Rates range from $99 to $259 per night plus taxes.
Residents of Japan may book their hotel reservations (as well as register for the meeting and book airline reservations) by contacting Nippon Travel Agency directly by calling 03-5369-4540 or by fax at 03-3225-1009.
Pacifichem 2010 is the sixth in the series of meetings that are held in Honolulu approximately every five years with the goal of fostering collaborations among Pacific Basin chemical scientists. The program highlights recent research contributions aimed at improving the quality of life throughout the world. The most recent congress, Pacifichem 2005, attracted 11,484 professionals in academia, industry, and government from 67 countries representing all degree levels within the fields of chemistry and the chemical sciences.
The technical program of Pacifichem 2010 is being developed and will consist of 236 symposia spread over 13 areas of contemporary chemical science. All papers require an abstract submission via the Pacifichem website—pacifichem.org. The site began accepting abstracts on Jan. 1 and will continue to do so until April 5.
Unlike other conferences, Pacifichem 2010 is not accepting general papers. Abstracts must be submitted to a symposium to be considered for presentation. Abstracts not accepted into an oral session may be scheduled as posters at the discretion of the organizers.
The abstract system will limit the number of abstracts that one person may submit. An individual may submit up to two abstracts in which they are the invited presenting author and up to three abstracts in which they are the presenting author (total contributed and invited). There is no limit on the number of abstracts in which an individual is the corresponding author or a coauthor.
Student Poster Competition
All pre-Ph.D. students are invited to enter the Pacifichem 2010 Student Poster Competition. To do so, submit an abstract to one of the symposia within the technical program and mark the option to participate in the Student Poster Competition. An abstract must be accepted by the symposium organizers before it can be considered for the competition. Instructions for submitting abstracts are on page 46.
Because of the large number of submissions expected, a limited number of posters will be preselected based on the abstract. Judges will be appointed by the Pacifichem Organizing Committee from chemical scientists attending the conference.
Before the meeting, judges will select a maximum of 200 posters from all submissions for the on-site competition. The winners in this round will be notified at least one month before the meeting. These students will present their posters for judging on Saturday, Dec. 16, and winners will be selected.
Those selected for the on-site competition are expected to present their research at the student poster competition on Dec. 16 and also at the session that the paper was submitted in. Posters not selected for the on-site competition but accepted for a symposium within the technical program will be presented during that session.
