The 16th International Symposium of Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC2022) was held June 19-24, 2022 on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene (airport EUG). We are located in the Willamette River Valley, two hours south of Portland by car and nearly equidistant from the Oregon coast and the Cascade Mountains. The symposium provided a forum to discuss all aspects of macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry, and also topics on materials and nanoscience, following the spirit and style of the fourteen preceding conferences. It also offered networking opportunities among peers, recognized leaders in the field, young scientists, and students.

The Organizing Committee consisted of Mike Haley and Darren Johnson of UO, and Kate Jolliffe of the University of Sydney. ISMSC-2022 strives to be a welcoming place to all people.

COVID-19:  At the UO, proof of vaccine or test results may be required to attend an event with 200+ people, such as this one. Guidelines are updated regularly and posted here.

ISMSC-2022 echoes the statement by the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) in our commitment and dedication to advancing populations who have historically been excluded or marginalized in STEM fields. Each one of us, as an ally to marginalized communities everywhere, has a continual duty to reflect on our institutions and demand accountability for their actions, dismantle those things which serve to oppress anyone based on their race, gender identity, creed, sex, ability, age, citizenship or sexual orientation, and reform them to be inclusive. We encourage the rest of the STEM community to join us in reflecting and reforming the ways in which we have inadvertently held up the systematic barriers which have barred marginalized communities from full participation in the scientific community.  We condemn systematic, institutionalized racism and the acts of state violence which have targeted the people of color in our community and in communities throughout this nation; violence which serves only to perpetuate existing racial injustice.

At ISMSC-2022 we aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and that facilitates open and honest intellectual debate. To enable this, all conference participants including speakers, attendees, vendors, staff and volunteers, are required to abide by the following code of conduct. Your attendance at the conference constitutes acceptance of this code of conduct as described on this site.
