Faraday Discussion meetings in 2013

We hope you are aware of how valuable Faraday Discussions are for the wider scientific community. They are unique international discussion meetings which focus on rapidly developing areas of physical chemistry and its interfaces with other scientific disciplines.

As well as the opportunity to take part in a major international conference, you can also have your research paper (including subsequent scientific discussion) published in a Faraday Discussion volume. Faraday Discussions is a leading physical chemistry journal and has a record impact factor of 5.0.

Here is the stimulating programme of meetings for the coming year – and note that the first two are already open for oral abstract submissions, so you can submit now.

FD162: Fabrication, Structure and Reactivity of Anchored Nanoparticles
10 – 12 April 2013, Berlin, Germany
Open now for oral abstract submissions – deadline 24 July 2012

FD163: Photo-initiated Quantum Molecular Dynamics
15 – 17 April 2013, Nottingham, UK
Open now for oral abstract submissions – deadline 31 July 2012

FD164: Electrolysis at the Nanoscale
1 – 3 July 2013, Durham, UK

FD165: Tropospheric Aerosol – Formation, Transformation, Fate and Impacts
22 – 24 July 2013, Leeds, UK

FD166: Self-Assembly of Biopolymers
16 – 18 September 2013, Bristol, UK

FD167: Mesostructure and Dynamics in Liquids and Solutions
18 – 20 September 2013, Bristol, UK

Please mark the dates in your calendar and feel free to pass this invitation to your colleagues. Look out for further information over the coming weeks on the individual meeting websites – you can also register your interest with us now.

We look forward to welcoming you to a Faraday Discussion meeting during 2013.
