Dear Colleagues, 

On behalf of the Scientific Committee and the Organizing Committee, we are delighted to invite you to join us in Oxford for the 22nd International Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry. 

Fluorine, a Multifaceted Element, has sparked the interest of chemists working in disciplines as diverse as synthesis, catalysis, material sciences, energy, agrochemical sciences, medical sciences and chemical biology. We are planning a range of symposia, plenary, keynote and invited speakers sessions disclosing some of the most recent and exciting advances made by world renowned scientists working in the field. The conference aims at covering fundamental and applied fluorine chemistry in the broadest sense, and will be hosted by the University of Oxford, one of the leading universities in the world. The symposium will take place in some of the most magnificent venues of the University with the opening ceremony in the Sheldonian Theatre, the scientific oral sessions in the Examination Schools, and the poster sessions in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Oxford and very much hope that you will take home memories of first class science as well as a little piece of history.
