18th Regional Graduate Symposia organised by SCI Fine Chemicals Group

All meetings run for a half day starting ~1 pm. There is no registration fee.

For the eighteenth consecutive year, the SCI is organising regional graduate symposia. 8-12 lectures will be given by selected final year graduate students who are completing research for a PhD in the UK. We are seeking to attract a broad spectrum of fine chemicals topics. Most organic research (synthesis, mechanisms, analysis) falls into this remit and we welcome contributions from all areas of novel organic chemistry.

Students interested in presenting their work, or anyone who would like further information about these events, are encouraged to speak to their supervisor and contact the local organiser.

The best lecture in each symposium will receive an SCI/SCI Fine Chemicals Group prize of GBP200, with a runner up prize of GBP100. In addition, the regional winners will receive free bursaries to attend an SCI Chemistry Symposium in April. Please note that the deadline for nominations will be 9 February 2007. An informal wine mixer will also be held at the end of each event.

Notes: Please note that the deadline for nominations will be 9 February 2007.
