The Royal Society of Chemistry and Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI), in their joint endeavour to promote exchange of ideas and knowledge in chemical sciences research and enable networking opportunities for researchers, have been conducting conferences at reputed universities across the UK and India.
The year 2023 marks the 5th RSC-CRSI Joint Symposium, a two-part series, the first of which is hosted by the University of York, with ‘Sustainability’ as its central theme.
About The Symposia On Sustainability
The aim of the symposia is to bring together the UK and Indian community working in the field of sustainable chemistry for a day of talks and discussions.
Date: September 12, 2023
Time: 09:30 - 17:00
Venue: University of York
Registration Details
Registration for the symposia is free and on a first-come-first-serve basis, and can be accessed here. Refreshments & lunch will be provided to all the attendees, travel costs will have to covered by the attendees.
We look forward to welcoming you at York this September.
