Objective

Maintain friendship through chemistry and science

Our strong desire is to have an open dialog and maintain friendship through chemistry and science between the Asian and other countries. In addition, since the position of this conference is a place to learn and discuss the future direction of organic chemistry, invited speakers are not exclusively from the field of organic chemistry, but also in other fields, such as polymer science, chemical biology, material science, and others, so that attendees can view organic chemistry from a broad perspective of chemical science.

History

"the Bürgenstock Conference" in Japan

The conference was launched in May 2000 under the initiative and leadership of Professor Eiichi Nakamura, who returned from the Bürgenstock Conference. He conceived a new type of chemistry conference in the woods away from towns with a specific place in mind – Tateshina, a place where his wife, Yoko, and hisself had hosted for some time a private concert and party. The conference logo featuring “a crane on a tortoise” was designed by Shuzaburo Shibi representing our hope for the longevity of the conference
Prof. Shu Kobayashi took over the chairmanship of the conference from 2011 to 2023, and Prof. Oguri will assume the chairmanship of the conference from 2024.

48-hour conference

This meeting, which returned to its traditional November schedule in 2024, will once again be held at the Shirakaba Resort Ike-no-taira Hotel (Tateshina Town, Kitasaku District, Nagano Prefecture), following last year’s successful event at the same venue.
We look forward to welcoming you to a 48-hour conference on the shores of Lake Shirakaba—surrounded by sky, mountains, and lake.

Invited speakers招待講演者

We are pleased to feature a more distinguished lineup of speakers than ever before, with expertise ranging from boron-enabled organic synthesis, nucleic acid chemistry, and chemical biology to chiral organocatalysis, organometallic and photochemistry, π-conjugated macrocycles, medicinal chemistry, and protein post-translational modifications.
