SCI-RSC Demystifying reaction kinetics
Organised by:
SCI’s Young Chemists’ Panel and RSC
Macclesfield, UK
Synopsis
SCI, in collaboration with RSC, are organising a one-day ‘Demystifying reaction kinetics’ event. This event is aimed at non-experts, with the intention to give the audience an understanding of basic concepts, typical workflows in the lab with concrete examples, typical information kinetics can give, and how kinetics can help solve common issues encountered during reaction development. The day will include tutorial lectures from top academics, case-studies from leading pharmaceutical industries, poster presentations, and networking sessions.Attendees
This event will be of interest to early career industrial chemists, or post-graduate students with an interest in reaction kinetics.Confirmed speakers
