Friday,
April 8, 2016 at Labour Museum Werstas, Tampere, Finland
A new tradition will start: Finnish
Catalysis Society will organize the first Finnish Young Scientist Forum
for Catalysis. The symposium has the goal to present on-going and
recently finished PhD thesis works in catalysis and to promote the
interaction between the key players in catalysis in our country.
Contributions from all sub-fields of catalysis are very welcome:
homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic and polymer catalysis;
presentations covering aspects from theoretical chemistry to material
science and chemical engineering. The symposium programme consists of a
keynote lecture, a prize winner’s lecture (the Prize for best doctoral
thesis in catalysis for years 2013-2015 will be announced) and oral
presentations of PhD students. After the symposium, the annual meeting
of Finnish Catalysis Society will take place. All PhD students,
their supervisors and other researchers in the field of catalysis in
Finland are cordially welcome!
Please register to the event latest on Monday, March 28. Provide the
title of your presentation and few highlights. No abstract is needed.
Please use the template in
providing the title and the highlights.
Register by filling in your name, affiliation, e-mail and special diet using this form (opens in a new window).
You can also upload the file regarding your presentation (name and highlights) choose "I want to send attachment/attachments" before clicking the Save button on the form..
The registration fee is 20 euro. It
should be paid directly to the account of Finnish Catalysis Society
(Nordea Bank Account FI08 1107 3000 6085 17) As
an invoice reference please write "Young scientist forum N.N." , where
N.N.
is the name of the participant. The fee covers the attendance
to the lectures, the museum visit, the lunch, the afternoon coffee
break, the cocktail party and the power-point presentations of the
lectures.
The young Scientist’s forum will be
organized in the Finnish Labour
Museum Werstas which is located in the downtown of Tampere, in the
historic Finlayson factory area. The museum specialises in social
history as well as recording, researching and exhibiting the history of
work and workers. Our versatile exhibitions and lively event activities
guarantee a continuous abundance of things to see and do at Werstas. The
admission to Werstas is always free. Drop by or explore our exhibitions
for a whole day. Rain or shine, our doors are open – Werstas is your
living room in the heart of the city. Werstas is the largest free museum
in Finland. The museum is open Tuesday-Sunday, 11.00 am – 6.00 pm
