The RSC Organic Division’s flagship event for early career researchers went online for 2020.
The competitive virtual poster symposium brought together outstanding final year organic chemistry PhD students from across the UK and Ireland to present their work to invited representatives from industry and academia. Prizes were awarded to the best posters including an industry prize awarded to the best research poster showcasing potential for industrial application.
