Welcome to the
27th IUPAC International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry (ICPOC-27)

September 6 - 9 2026, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Munich, Germany
Dear colleagues, dear friends,

it is our great pleasure to invite you to the 27th IUPAC International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry (ICPOC-27), which will take place at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), Germany, from September 6–9, 2026. Since its inception in 1972, the ICPOC series has become the leading international forum for advances in physical organic chemistry.

ICPOC-27 will bring together scientists from academia and industry to share cutting-edge research on the structure, reactivity, mechanisms, thermodynamics and kinetics of organic systems. The conference will highlight quantitative, molecular-level insights into the properties of chemical compounds — from small molecules and polymers to catalysts, functional materials, and supramolecular assemblies, novel techniques and methods including machine learning approaches. Contributions bridging to materials science, biology, systems chemistry and prebiotic chemistry are warmly welcomed, underscoring the multidisciplinary nature of our field.

This broad and integrative perspective is central to the continued growth of the chemical sciences and characterizes the dynamic and inspiring discussions that have long defined ICPOC meetings.

The conference will be held on LMU’s Science Campus Großhadern, offering an excellent environment for scientific exchange. Beyond the scientific program, Munich awaits you with its vibrant cultural life, rich history, and unique traditions.

We warmly encourage you to register and join us for ICPOC-27 at LMU Munich in September 2026.

Conference Location at the Campus Grosshadern/ Martinsried of LMU Munich

The conference will take place in the main auditorium of the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Science Campus Grosshadern of LMU Munich:
Butenandtstraße 5–13 • 81377 Munich • Germany






About Munich

Munich, the capital of Bavaria, lies gracefully along the banks of the Isar River, framed by the distant peaks of the Alps. The city blends centuries-old traditions with a vibrant, modern spirit, offering a unique atmosphere where leafy parks, and historic squares coexist seamlessly with cutting-edge museums, lively markets, and a thriving cultural scene.

The climate in summer is usually mild and sunny, perfect for exploring on foot or by bicycle. Within a short walk from central hotels, visitors will find famous museums, historical monuments, and architectural gems ranging from Gothic and Baroque churches to neoclassical palaces and contemporary masterpieces.

Beyond Munich, Bavaria reveals its own treasures: storybook castles, crystal-blue lakes, and gently rolling countryside. Many of these unforgettable landscapes and historic sites are conveniently reached by train or regional transport, making Munich an ideal gateway to explore southern Germany.

Discover Munich

Marienplatz, the lively heart of the city, welcomes visitors with its iconic New Town Hall and the famous Glockenspiel, which performs daily for crowds gathered in the square. From here, the old town unfolds through a network of inviting streets, connecting medieval gates, elegant boulevards, and bustling markets.

Just steps away lies Viktualienmarkt, a beloved open-air market where locals and visitors mingle over fresh produce, traditional Bavarian dishes, and shaded beer-garden tables. Nearby, the Munich Residenz—the former royal palace of the Wittelsbach dynasty—invites exploration of its lavish halls, courtyards, and treasury, offering a journey through centuries of Bavarian history.

In the district of Maxvorstadt, museum lovers will find an extraordinary cultural cluster: the Alte Pinakothek, Neue Pinakothek, and the modern Pinakothek der Moderne, alongside the world-renowned Brandhorst Museum. South of the Isar, the historic district of Au-Haidhausen charms with quiet streets, old breweries, and riverside promenades.

One of Munich’s most beloved landmarks is the Englischer Garten, a vast urban park larger than Central Park, where one can relax by streams and meadows, visit traditional beer gardens, or watch surfers ride the famous Eisbach wave.

Worth experiencing …
Wander through the old town from Marienplatz to Odeonsplatz; explore the Residenz and stroll its quiet courtyards; climb the tower of St. Peter’s Church for a panoramic view over the rooftops and toward the Alps; enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the Englischer Garten; visit a traditional beer hall such as the Hofbräuhaus for a taste of Bavarian culture; explore Nymphenburg Palace and its gardens; end your day watching the sunset along the Isar, where the city’s relaxed rhythm can truly be felt.

 

Munich offers an excellent public transport system (MVV), including S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams, and buses.

 

Ticket Zones

  • Munich Airport (MUC): Located in Zone 5 of the MVV network.
  • Conference Venue (LMU Campus Großhadern): Located in Zone M, which covers the entire Munich city area.
  • A journey from the airport to Großhadern therefore requires a ticket valid for Zones M–5, getting around between the city center and the venue requires a ticket for Zone M.

 

 

Recommended Ticket for 4 Days

For conference participants, the most practical and cost‑effective choice is the Deutschlandticket:

  • Price: €63 per month (valid for unlimited travel).
  • Coverage: All MVV zones (including MUC airport and Großhadern), plus nationwide regional trains and local transport.
  • Validity: Calendar month – ideal if you stay for several days, as it covers your entire visit without worrying about single tickets.
  • Important: The Deutschlandticket is a subscription (Abo). You must cancel it if you do not wish to continue beyond the first month.

 

Alternative (local-only option)

  • MVV Weekly Ticket (Zones M–5): Approx. €33–35 for one week.
  • Covers unlimited travel between the airport and Munich city, including Großhadern.
  • Suitable if you only need Munich transport and not nationwide connections.

 

Where to Buy Tickets

  • Deutschlandticket: Available online via the DB Navigator app, the MVV app, or directly on the websites of Deutsche Bahn and MVV.
  • Weekly or single MVV tickets: Can be purchased at ticket machines in all U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations, at MVV service centers, or via the MVV app.
  • Tickets are also available at airport train stations (MUC and FMM) and at Munich Central Station.

 

 Practical Tip

  • From Munich Airport, take the S-Bahn S8 or S1 to Marienplatz, then change to U6 towards Klinikum Großhadern.
  • With the Deutschlandticket or weekly pass, you can use all connections without extra cost.

 






Accomodation

Munich offers a rich selection of hotels, guesthouses, and inns in the city center and surrounding areas.
For a full list: Hotels in Munich – Munich Tourism.

Recommended neighborhoods: Hadern, Sendling, Pasing, and Laim — all offer quick U6 or S-Bahn connections to the venue.

Please note: Hotel prices are expected to increase in June due to Oktoberfest; early booking is strongly advised.

Getting to Munich

Munich is well connected by air, rail, and road, making it easy to reach from anywhere in Europe and beyond.
By Air
Munich Airport (MUC): Munich International Airport is the main gateway to the city, located about 35 km northeast of the center. From the airport, you can reach downtown Munich by:
S-Bahn (suburban train): Lines S1 and S8 connect the airport to the city center (Marienplatz) in about 40 minutes.
Airport bus or taxi: Direct buses run to Munich Central Station; taxis take about 40–50 minutes depending on traffic.
Memmingen Airport (FMM): Located about 110 km west of Munich, Memmingen Airport is served mainly by low-cost airlines. From there:
Shuttle buses connect directly to Munich Central Station (approx. 1.5–2 hours).
Alternatively, trains from Memmingen to Munich run regularly via Augsburg.
By Train (ICE and other services)
Munich Central Station (München Hauptbahnhof) is a major hub for Germany’s high-speed ICE trains and international connections.
Direct ICE services link Munich with Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, and Vienna.
Travel times: Berlin (~4 hours), Frankfurt (~3.5 hours), Vienna (~4 hours).
From the station, the U-Bahn (subway) and S-Bahn provide fast connections across the city.
By Car (Autobahn)
Munich is accessible via several major highways:
A8 from Stuttgart and Salzburg
A9 from Nuremberg and Berlin
A96 from Lindau (Lake Constance)
A92 from Deggendorf and Munich Airport
Parking is limited in the city center and at the venue, conference participants are therefore advised to use public transport once in Munich.
