Synopsis
The Society of Chemical Industry and AstraZeneca would like to offer the opportunity for final-year undergraduate chemistry students to present their work on a national stage. Due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, the eighth edition of the National Undergraduate Research Symposium will be a virtual poster competition held online. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your research within the academic and industrial communities. We look forward to seeing the best undergraduate research in an exciting and novel format and we hope this is some better news in difficult times.
Details
- The posters will be presented online between 16 and 26 June 2020. You don’t need to be available for this entire period but must be available to submit your completed poster before 13 June 2020.
