Every alternate year, India-UK symposium is held at different universities in the UK since 2012 and so far, four such symposia have been held. The last UK meeting was held in 2018 at University of Oxford and University of Manchester and was unable to host it during the last couple of years due to pandemic.

Description - borrowed from RSC site:
The RSC and CRSI are supporting a series of joint symposia for 16 years in a row as part of the cooperation agreement, which has been renewed every five years. Earlier this year, the 16th edition of RSC-CRSI was successfully held in February 2023 in New Delhi, India.
The purpose of these high-profile events is to bring together researchers from both countries and to facilitate research collaborations in areas from across the chemical sciences.
Every alternate year, India-UK symposium is held at different universities in the UK since 2012 and so far, four such symposia have been held. The last UK meeting was held in 2018 at University of Oxford and University of Manchester and was unable to host it during the last couple of years due to pandemic.
This year, University of York and University of Bristol have agreed to host the meeting in September 2023.
Symposium dates:
September 12 at University of York
September 14 at University of Bristol
Objectives:
- Strengthening UK-India research collaborations
- Consolidating partnership with CRSI and also discuss future activities
- Support publishing activities in India
- Develop new links between chemical sciences community in the UK and India
- Foster discussion of possible future projects between UK and Indian scientists
Focus of symposium and format:
The UK-India Symposium at York will broadly focus on Sustainability while the one in Bristol will be on Chemical Biology.
The symposium will feature around 8-10 talks of 30 mins at both universities with five each from the UK (mostly from host institution) and Indian delegation.
A poster session will be held and is open to all delegates.
