Challenges in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry was the second event in the International Symposium on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) series in 2012 and the first of the series to take place in Canada. ISACS8 built upon the success of ISACS3 which took place in 2010 on the same topic.
Both inorganic and materials chemistry are key areas of research that will play a significant role in meeting some of the biggest issues facing mankind in the future. ISACS 8 will focus in on a number of these areas, outlining some of the most recent successes as well as some of the major challenges that lay ahead.
Aims
The conference aimed to bring together exceptional researchers - all leading names in their field - for an outstanding plenary programme, complemented by contributed talks, together with extensive poster sessions that will provide many networking opportunities.
