Welcome Letter
Dear Colleagues and Participants,
On behalf of the ADHOC 2027 Organizing Committee, we are delighted to welcome you to ADHOC 2027, the International Symposium on Activation of Dioxygen and Homogeneous Oxidation Catalysis.
ADHOC is a leading international forum dedicated to the activation of molecular dioxygen for catalytic oxidation. The symposium covers new catalysts, oxidants, and methodologies for oxidation catalysis, as well as mechanistic insights into oxidative processes, ranging from fundamental studies to applications in selective and sustainable oxidation chemistry.
ADHOC 2027 continues the long-standing tradition of bringing together academic and industrial researchers in oxidation catalysis, while also providing an inspiring platform for early-career scientists and graduate students to present and discuss their work in a stimulating scientific environment.
The symposium will be held on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, a UNESCO-recognized volcanic island known for its unique natural landscape and vibrant cultural atmosphere. Jeju offers an ideal setting for focused scientific exchange, combining a world-class conference environment with a distinctive natural context.
We look forward to welcoming you to ADHOC 2027 and hope that the symposium will offer a productive, engaging, and inspiring meeting for all participants.
Sincerely,
Chair, ADHOC 2027 Organizing Committee
