About ACOC

The aim of the Anatolian Conference on Organic Chemistry (ACOC) is to bring scientists from around the world together under one roof, creating an environment where scientific progress is advanced through communication, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas. Supported by the Turkish Chemists’ Society, ACOC was founded under the leadership of Prof. Fraser Fleming and Prof. Ramazan Altundas. The conference was renamed in 2023 from the Anatolian Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry (ACSOC) to the Anatolian Conference on Organic Chemistry (ACOC).
