Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers Poster Prizes Awarded at the 6th Catalysis and Sensing for our Environment (CASE) network meeting at Xiamen University

The 6th Catalysis and Sensing for our Environment (CASE) network meeting was held at Xiamen University from 7-9th November 2014 and hosted by Yun-Bao Jiang (Dean of the College of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering at Xiamen University). http://case2014.wordpress.com/

The Catalysis and Sensing for our Environment (CASE) network was founded by Tony James, Steven Bull and John Fossey at the University of Bath in 2008. These annual research meetings have been held in Bath (UK, 2008) ECUST (Shanghai, 2009), the University of Birmingham (UK, 2011), SIOC (Shanghai, 2012) and the University of Texas at Austin (USA, 2013).

The CASE symposia have proven to be hot beds for collaborative discussion with numerous papers and successful funding applications resulting from the interactions initiated through the networking opportunities provided by these meetings.

Three Poster Prizes of ¥500 and Certificate from Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers were awarded by Daping Zhang the Executive Editor of Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers.

RSC Poster Prize winners:

  • Mr William Brittain (University of Birmingham)
  • Dr. Shuo-Hui Cao (Xiamen University)
  • Miss Yuan Yuan (Xiamen University)
