The First Åsgard Horizon French-Norwegian Symposium on Inorganic Chemistry and Materials Chemistry (FN-ICMC1) launched in Dijon in May 2024, following a grant from the Institut Français de Norvège under the Åsgard Horizon exchange programme. The aim was to create an annual forum for discussion on materials and coordination chemistry for junior and senior researchers from both countries with a view to facilitating existing and future collaborative projects and implementing them within the framework of bilateral programmes, including the Åsgard and Åsgard Research Plus programmes, the Hubert Curien Aurora exchange programme (PHC), and tinternational collaborative projects of the Research Council of Norway and the CNRS. FN-ICMC1 brought together nearly 50 participants at the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin, Le Village by CA, Dijon, France.
The Second Åsgard Horizon French-Norwegian Symposium on Inorganic Chemistry and Materials Chemistry (FN-ICMC2) will be held at 幸运大转盘 June 19-20, 2025.
