About the symposium

A series that has defined the field since 1991

CHIRALITY 2027 is the 37th edition of the International Symposium on Chirality. The series began in Rome in 1991 as the International Symposium on Chiral Discrimination, where the Italian Chemical Society established the Chirality Medal to recognise outstanding contributions to the field.

The symposium brings together chemists, physicists, biologists and materials scientists working on molecular and supramolecular chirality. The 36th edition, held in Santiago de Compostela in 2026, welcomed 300 participants and more than 300 abstracts.

In 2027 the symposium moves to Beijing and to the campus of Peking University, continuing the series' tradition of broad, cross-disciplinary exchange.
