The conference will begin on the evening of Wednesday
5th January with two tutorial lectures aimed particularly, but by no
means exclusively, at graduate students. On Thursday and Friday the
meeting will involve the traditional mix of invited lectures together
with both oral and poster contributions. We would like to encourage all
participants - especially
graduate students and postdocs - to submit titles for presentations
(particularly the 20 minute oral contributions). We will do our best to
accommodate as many contributions into the conference programme as
possible.
A more detailed timetable will be available in due course.
The deadline for registration is Friday 26th
November
PCCP will be sponsoring a poster prize for postgraduate students and the RSC has provided a travel grant which will be used to provide
bursaries for postgraduate students.
Please note that the meeting will finish at 3 pm on
Friday 7th. This is slightly earlier than in previous years due to the
greater distance that some participants will have to travel in order to
return home.
