RSC - IISER Desktop Seminar Series
91AV is organising a series of Desktop Seminars with Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISERs). Each seminar will feature a journal published by the RSC and discuss research targeted on subject areas related to it.
RSC - IISER Desktop Seminar with CrystEngComm
The third event in the RSC-IISER Desktop Seminar Series is jointly organised by CrystEngComm and IISER Kolkata. This virtual event will have scientific talks by renowned researchers including the board members of CrystEngComm talking about their exciting science at sessions focused on recent trends in Crystal Engineering. The seminar will bring together scientists in a stimulating and friendly environment that will facilitate sharing of knowledge and foster collaborations in times of limited travel. You will also have the opportunity to speak to the team behind the journal and learn more about the RSC products.
