Poster prize winners at Israel Chemical Society Annual meeting 2014

(L-R) Prof. Ehud Keinan (President of the Israel Chemical Society), Dr. Lioz Etgar, Dr. Sabrina Sartori (Poster prize winner), Prof. Roy Shenhar (Organizing committee).

Energy and Environmental Science was delighted to sponsor the 79th Annual Meeting of the Israel Chemical Society, took place at Dan Panorama Hotel and Convention Center in Tel Aviv in February 4- 5, 2014.

The two-day symposium and exhibition, which was organised by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, covered both basic and applied chemistry. The meeting provided outstanding opportunities for scientists and entrepreneurs, R&D researchers and engineers, students and teachers from the academy, industry and government, to interact, exchange ideas, share their new results and create new collaborative projects.

Congratulations to Dr. Sabrina Sartori, who was awarded an Energy and Environmental Science poster prize at the poster session!
