Event details

The second annual Midlands Computational Chemistry Meeting is being held at the Clifton campus of Nottingham Trent University on 3 July 2018. Following on from last year’s meeting, this one-day meeting is an opportunity to meet other computational chemists in the region and hear about the great work our students and colleagues are doing. We’re happy to define Midlands as anywhere where you can travel to Nottingham for a day.

The format of the one day meeting will be contributed presentations (15 + 5 mins) and a poster session over lunch. Preference for oral presentations will be given to postgraduate students, postdocs and recently appointed academics.

Book your place today at our online store. The cost per delegate is £15.

Abstracts along with your preference for oral or poster presentation can be submitted to NTUSSTMidlandsCh@ntu.ac.uk.

The meeting is sponsored by the Theoretical Chemistry Group of the RSC

Poster prizes for the meeting have been generously donated by the Wiley journal,  International Journal of Quantum Chemistry.
