Our full timetabled schedule is now available to download --> (please see the right hand side of the page under Downloads).
The meeting will feature an excellent line up of Early Career speakers from the UK, Ireland and beyond, including a Plenary from the winner of the Dextra Award '23 - Dr Benjamin Schumann. The conference will also feature a dedicated ECR oral presentation session with our first Biosynth Award for the best ECR oral presentation. A Thesis in Three minutes competition will also be held with a £200 prize from the RSC Carbohydrate Committee and a dedicated poster session with prizes from Biosynth.
The RSC Carbohydrate Committee would like to thank Dextra, Radley and Biosynth for their support and contributions towards the event.
