Summary of the project (approx. 200 words)*KU project coordinators are required to submit a summary of the project in Japanese in addition to theEnglish summary (approx. 400 characters).
The Joint Workshop on Organosulfur Chemistry (JWOCS) was held at the University of Vienna onFebruary 27 and 28, 2023, chaired by Professor Nuno Maulide. The morning of the first day opened
with opening remarks by Prof. Maulide, the Rector of the University of Vienna, the Japanese
Ambassador to Austria (who was hastily represented by the Minister), and Prof. Yorimitsu. The next
two days were extremely fruitful. The high-level lectures of 30 minutes each by 15 invited speakers who
are at the forefront of the field of organosulfur chemistry were mostly oriented toward organic synthesis
and demonstrated state-of-the-art molecular transformations that take advantage of sulfur's properties.
The lectures were meaningful for the production of organic materials, pharmaceuticals andagrochemicals, as well as for the development of a sustainable society, and the Q&A sessions following
the lectures were extremely active. In addition, 16 flash talks were selected from about 41 poster
presentations, and young researchers, including graduate students, presented their research for 15minutes each. It was a very meaningful conference from the viewpoint of training excellent juniorreseachers who will lead the next generation of organosulfur chemistry. With 103 participants, themeeting contributed greatly to the future development of organosulfur chemistry as well as to thestrengthening of cooperation between the University of Vienna and Kyoto University.
有機硫⻩化学合同ワークショップ（JWOCS）は2023 年2 ⽉27, 28 ⽇の⼆⽇間にわたってMaulide 教授を議⻑としてウィーン⼤学にて開催された。初⽇の朝は、Maulide 教授、ウィーン⼤学学⻑、在オーストリア⽇本⼤使（急きょ公使が代理出席）、依光からの開会の挨拶で幕を開けた。その後の2 ⽇間は⾮常に実りある内容となった。有機硫⻩化学の分野において第⼀線で活躍している15 名の招待講演者による各30 分間のハイレベルな講演は、有機合成を指向したものが多く、硫⻩の特性を活かした最先端の分⼦変換が披露された。有機材料や医農薬の製造や持続可能社会の発展に繋がる有意義な内容であり、講演後の質疑応答も極めて活発であった。あわせて、41 件程度のポスター発表の中から16 件が選抜され、⼤学院学⽣をはじめとする若⼿研究者からの各15 分間の研究報告があった。次世代の有機硫⻩化学を担う優れた後継者の養成という観点においても、⾮常に有意義な会議であったと⾔える。参加者数は103 名であり、ウィーン⼤学と京都⼤学の連携強化はもちろんのこと、今後の有機硫⻩化学の発展に⼤きく寄与する会となった。
