13th International Vanadium Symposium (V13)

The 13th International Vanadium Symposium is an interdisciplinary event that aims to gather researchers from the vanadium research community to showcase their latest findings on topics such as coordination chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, catalysis, green chemistry, toxicology, environmental and occupational chemistry, materials sciences and energy storage, among many other important topics.

New vanadium compounds and new advances in its bioinorganic chemistry, including applications in enzymology, toxicology and as metallodrugs, highlight the increasing relevance of this metal ion in medicinal chemistry and give insight on its beneficial health effects. In addition, vanadium is recognized as an important metal in industrial processes, such as in oxidation catalysis and steel production, and more recently it’s becoming increasingly relevant in the development of new materials as, for instance, in energy storage and solar cells.
