The Inorganic Discussion Weekend (IDW) is a celebration of the contributions that graduate students and postdoctoral fellows make to modern inorganic chemistry. The conference series was initiated in 1968 by Barry Lever, former Emeritus Professor at York University, to facilitate meaningful and collaborative discussions between fellow inorganic chemists. The IDW has been running for over 50 years and has typically attracted 100-150 researchers at recent meetings from across Ontario and Quebec. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are invited to contribute oral, or poster presentations and undergraduate students are welcome to contribute poster presentations. A series of events will be organized over a three-day period, providing extensive opportunities to network and enhance learning, scholarship and professional development within a supportive and inclusive environment.
IDW2025 will feature three high-profile scientists as the keynote speakers.
