35th International Symposium on Chirality

The 35th International Symposium on Chirality – CHIRALITY 2025 – will gather the world’s leading experts in the broad field of chemical chirality and of its consequences in biology, pharmacology, spectroscopy, and synthesis, as well as separations and materials science. Special attention will be devoted to young scientists presentations and posters. CHIRALITY 2025 will take place at New York University, New York City. The first meeting was held in Rome in 1991, as the International Symposium on Chiral Discrimination. The Italian Society of Chemistry (Società Chimica Italiana, SCI) established the Chirality Medal at this conference to honor scientists who have made significant contributions to chirality. The medal is awarded annually by an International Honorary Committee.

Submissions for Oral Contributions have now closed.
