The Royal Society of Chemistry is delighted to announce that the next Royal Society of Chemistry – Procter & Gamble Symposium, Chemical Sciences and Technology Enabling Growth in Africa, will take place from 11-12 February 2016 in Lagos, Nigeria.
After the success of previous meetings, we are delighted to be returning to the inaugural host city of Lagos, where we look forward to building on the outcomes of previous meetings, planning for future collaborations, and renewing friendships and partnerships.
The scientific program will feature a mixture of international and African thought leaders and speakers, and there will be a poster session for researchers to share their latest work. In 2016 goals we aim to continue to boost knowledge and skills in research and publishing while empowering African students through opportunities such as internships. We also aim to engage local entrepreneurs and provide a forum for cross sharing and learning, in the form of an entrepreneurs business forum.
There is an opportunity to present your work in the form of a poster at this event. Please submit your abstract for consideration by 3 January. Please note that there is no financial support available for poster presenters to attend this meeting.
