Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is my pleasure to invite you to the 26th International Symposium on the Organic Chemistry of Sulfur ( ISOCS-26 ), which will take place between 24 and 29 August 2014 in Istanbul, Turkey.
This symposium will consist of an informative and comprehensive scientific program, featuring oral and poster presentations and an exhibition. This will provide a unique opportunity to become familiar with the most recent advancements on the Organic Chemistry of Sulfur. The symposium includes topics as:
 Synthesis
 Theory, Mechanism, and Stereochemistry
 Bio-Organic and Medicinal Chemistry
 Catalysis
 Advanced Materials, Nanotechnology
 Environment
It has been the tradition of the ISOCS symposium series to select venues with unique features. For 2014, one of the most important cradles of human civilization will host ISOCS-26 in Istanbul. It is no exaggeration to describe Istanbul as one of the most beautiful cities in the world at the crossroads of civilizations. It is the bridge that connects the continents; East and West, located in the heart of the Old World.

I hope you will enjoy the meeting facilities at the symposium venue , our assistance to ensure your stay with us is fascinating, rewarding ,memorable and this Symposium will be remembered with its high scientific and technical quality as well as its pleasant social atmosphere.

We will be honored to host you in Istanbul where you will have the opportunity to experience the renowned Turkish hospitality.
We look forward to welcoming you all to the 26th International Symposium on the Organic
