Irène Joliot-Curie Conference, 1st-2nd October 2012, University of Warwick
Just got the following email that may be of interest
Dear RSC Younger Member
I hope this is a reminder notice as you should have been contacted by other routes. If not, apologies. We have 40 people from 19 chemistry departments registered for the "Irène Joliot-Curie Conference: establishing an independent career in chemistry" from 1–2 October. We can accommodate up to 20 more people so I’d like to encourage you to register. The conference is open to anyone who feels they will benefit from the programme, but it is particularly targeted as female post docs who are considering a career in academic chemistry. We are covering the costs for the event but you (or hopefully your head of department) will need to pay for and organise travel and accommodation. For more details see the conference website. The programme is below.
Best wishes
Professor Alison Rodger
