FD166: Self-Assembly of Biopolymers – registration now open

Faraday Discussion 166

Registration for Self-Assembly of Biopolymers: Faraday Discussion 166 is now open.

Registering early guarantees you an early bird discount of £50.

You can submit an abstract to have your own poster space at the meeting.

Professor Ian Hamley and the rest of the Scientific Committee look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues to Bristol in September 2013 for Self-Assembly of Biopolymers: Faraday Discussion 166

Faraday Discussion 165: Tropospheric Aerosol – update

Faraday Discussion 165

There are just a few weeks left to submit your poster abstract to Tropospheric Aerosol – Formation, Transformation, Fate and Impacts: Faraday Discussion 165 – so don’t delay.

Act now to take advantage of:

  • Faraday Discussion 165 register nowEarly bird discount – £50 saving on the standard fee
  • Poster presentation space – a chance to showcase your own work
  • Bursaries – a limited number offered to students and younger members of the RSC in the early stages of their career – worth £150 – check your eligibility

This Discussion will explore the emerging frameworks which aim to integrate our theoretical or empirical understanding of the atmospheric aerosol.

Professor Gordon McFiggans and the rest of the Scientific Committee look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues to Leeds in July 2013 for Tropospheric Aerosol – Formation, Transformation, Fate and Impacts: Faraday Discussion 165.

Please don’t miss the 24 May deadline for posters and early bird registration.
