The Inorganic Division of the RACI will be holding a virtual IC21 meeting from Tuesday 6^th – Thursday 8^th July 2021. The IC meetings provide inorganic chemists from a wide variety of backgrounds the opportunity to discuss cutting edge research and techniques in a supportive environment.

IC21 will predominantly be a virtual meeting but we are encouraging registered participants to connect with others in their local area for in-person events. More details available soon.

The virtual component of meeting will be held over three days for approximately 4-5 hours per day from around 10:30 am – 3:30 pm (Australian Central Standard Time, ACST), hopefully fitting in with as many time zones as possible. There will be a focus on early career researcher presentations, along with poster sessions and the Stranks Award of the RACI. 

Don Stranks was a leading member of the Australian and international inorganic chemistry community. The Don Stranks Awards commemorate his substantial contribution to inorganic chemistry in Australia, and particularly his nurture and encouragement of students. The Don Stranks Awards are open to student members of the RACI (or an affiliated society) participating in the virtual Conference of the Division of Inorganic Chemistry and recognize outstanding performance in research within a current PhD candidature.
