Welcome to the Third International Symposium on C-H Activation (ISCHA3), which will take place from May 30 to June 2, 2016 in Montréal, Canada.

Following the successes of our two previous international symposia, held in Beijing, China (2012) and Rennes, France (2014), we will showcase this year the increasing breadth of scientific disciplines that benefit from technologies to activate C-H bonds. The symposium will feature invited lectures from world-class leaders in the fields of:

• Total Synthesis and Late Stage Functionalization;
• Materials Science and Energy Conversion;
• Emerging Technologies;
• Mechanistic Considerations of C-H Functionalization;
• Catalytic Methods for C-H Functionalization;
• Biomimetic C-H Functionalization.

ISCHA3 promises to bring together a diverse consortium of scientists that will create a unique blend of expertise across the chemical sciences. We encourage you to join us in the beautiful city of Montréal (Québec, Canada), which boasts a variety of knowledge-intense industrial sectors. Montréal will offer a unique, multi-cultural experience for conference participants that will include conference activities in and around the city. Conference proceedings will be held at Université de Montréal, atop Mount Royal.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to another outstanding conference and to join us in making the ISCHA3 a most successful and memorable meeting"
