The European Conferences on Boron Chemistry (EuroBoron) held every three years represents a forum where all aspects of boron chemistry are discussed by scientists, both professionals and students. Previous EuroBoron meetings were successfully held in 1997 at Platja d’Aro (Spain), in 2001 at Dinard (France), in 2004 at Pruhonice (Czech Republic), in 2007 at Bremen (Germany), in 2010 at Edinburgh (UK), in 2013 at Radziejowice (Poland) and in 2016 at Suzdal (Russia).

In 2019 the conference has been in Montpellier (France), and they announced that the next edition, in 2022, will be in Barcelona! Rosario Núñez and Jose Giner, from the Inorganic Materials and Catalysis Lab (LMI)  have some work ahead!
