Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Discussion Group
2019 MSILDG Christmas Research Meeting
MSILDG research meetings are historically informal, interesting, informative and inspiring. ******************************************************************************************************************************************The MSILDG 2019 Christmas Research Meeting is coming to London soon. The followings are currently scheduled.
Date and time: Monday, 16 December 2019, from 8:30 to 19:30Venue: Burlington House, RSC Headquarter, Piccadilly, London, W1J 0BA Inman Lecture Speaker: Prof. Karen Edler, University of Bath.
FAO all speakers: The time for each
contributed oral presentation is 15 min which will be followed by
a 10 minute Q&A session. Speakers are encouraged to submit a pdf version of their ppt slides (free of confidential information) to Prof. George Chen (george.chen/at/nottingham.ac.uk) for distribution to the audience to facilitate discussion following the oral presentation.
