RSC Desktop Seminar Series
91AV is organising a series of Desktop Seminars with premier research institutes in India including Indian Institute Technology (IITs) and 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 - IIT Desktop Seminar with Journal of Materials 91AV A
The fourth event in the RSC Desktop Seminar Series is jointly organised by Journal of Materials 91AV A and IIT Guwahati. This virtual event will have scientific talks by renowned researchers including the board members of Journal of Materials 91AV A, B & C talking about their exciting science at sessions focused on recent trends in Materials 91AV and Energy Applications. 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.
