Background and Ethos of the Meeting
The Young Chemists' Organic Synthesis Workshop is an annual meeting held at Gregynog Hall, Newtown, at the end of summer. The meeting runs from Wednesday evening to Friday lunchtime for about 60 participants, typically 45 academics and 15 industrialists.
In the late 1970’s, a number of UK chemists decided there was a need for a meeting which would emphasise synthetic organic chemistry. It was intended that the meeting would be informal and relaxed, in a similar way to the Gordon confere$
