In 1996, the CSJ and ACS established a cooperative exchange in the areas of
organic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and related topics in commemoration of
Koji Nakanishi of Columbia University, New York. A bilateral symposium is held
every year on a reciprocal basis, and a Nakanishi Prize is awarded during each
symposium. Since 2000, the symposium has been held at the CSJ Spring Meeting.
Occasionally more than 400 people attend.
