5 WEATHER AND CLOTHING In November, the temperatures in Shanghai are usually in the range of o C. The Symposium site, hotels, taxis, shuttle buses, shops and restaurants are well air-conditioned. CONGRESS VENUE The Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC) was founded in May 1950 as one of the first 15 institutes established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The mission of SIOC is to conduct cutting-edge research in the science and technology of organic chemistry and related disciplines and publicly disseminate its research results and technological developments. Over the last 63 years, SIOC scientists have made tremendous contributions to the development of the nation's science, economy and defense. The institute's achievements include collaboration on the total synthesis of crystalline bovine insulin; collaboration on the total synthesis of yeast Ala-tRNA; and development of fluorine-containing plastics and key materials for the nation's security. It has also conducted extensive basic research on physical organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and complex natural product synthesis and related methodologies. SIOC's current research focuses on chemical transformations, chemical biology and organic materials. The institute aims to make both innovative and practical contributions to the fields of health, population, agriculture, resources, energy, the environment and advanced materials. Since its establishment, SIOC has won 350 research awards, including 69 national-level awards. It has 480 patents and has published around 10,000 academic papers. SIOC's research facilities include the National Key Laboratory of Bioorganic and Natural Product Chemistry; the National Key Laboratory of Organometallic Chemistry; the CAS Key Laboratory of Organofluorine Chemistry; the CAS Key Laboratory of the Synthetic Organic Chemistry of Natural Products; laboratories for physical organic chemistry, materials science, computer chemistry and cheminformatics, and analytical chemistry. SIOC is also home to the CAS Organic Synthesis Engineering Center and Shanghai-Hong Kong Joint Laboratory of Chemical Synthesis.
