Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to inform you that the 2023 Annual SPACC (The Society of Pure and Applied
Coordination Chemistry) Meeting and the 3rd International OUS Frontier Symposium will be jointly
held at Okayama University of Science, Okayama, Japan on September 1, 2023. The Organizing
Committee cordially invite you to attend the symposium and participate in its scientific and socialprograms.
The main theme of this symposium is "The Science of new functional materials and devices that
contribute to achieving the SDGs." The symposium will focus on the development and application ofnovel functional compounds and devices that have the potential to make significant contributions to therealization and advancement of a sustainable society. Additionally, the symposium will coverfundamental research in organic, inorganic, and biological chemistry, material science and device
engineering, for the future innovations.
As with previous SPACC Symposia, it is intended that this Symposium will provide a platform foryoung scientists to exchange scientific information among themselves and with the selected leadingscientists.
Presentations will consist of three categories – plenary lectures, invited lectures (for doctor course
students), and poster presentations. Prizes will be awarded for the best presentations, especially for
those given by students.
We look forward to meeting you in Okayama, Japan.

Important Deadlines
Application of all presentations: August 7
Abstract submission: August 7
