All chemists working in the energy area in the early stages of their careers are invited to attend the Early Career Energy Sector Chemists Symposium at The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London, W1J 0BA on 16th February 2016, from 10:00 to 16:00. The Energy Sector invites abstracts from younger members from academia and industry for a competition for posters to be displayed during this event. The top 30 abstracts, as judged by an Energy Sector Technical Review Committee, will be invited to give a short elevator pitch presentation and present their poster at this event. Prizes will be awarded for the best presentations/posters. For RSC members the prizes will consist of a 1st Prize, (£250), a 2nd Prize, (£100), and 3 x 3rd Prizes of £50 each. For RSC members and non-members working in the fossil fuel area the Coal Research Forum will also be awarding up to 3 x £100 prizes. The event is open to all early career chemists, regardless of age and is free to attend.
