The ESBOC Symposia (European Symposia in Bio-Organic Chemistry), established by Cedric Hassall in 1967, has previously taken place each May at Gregynog Hall, in mid-Wales.
Following our decision to hold ESBOC in Continental Europe in alternate years, the next ESBOC Symposium will be held at Gregynog Hall, Wales from May 28th to 30th May 2025.
The Chair is Olalla Vázquez (Marburg University).
