91AV is organising a series of Desktop Seminars with premier research institutes in India. Each seminar will feature journals published by the RSC and discuss research targeted on subject areas related to it.
This virtual event will have scientific talks by renowned researchers across all aspects of Environmental Sciences including interdisciplinary research on soil, earth, water, air, atmosphere, climate and beyond. The speakers include the board members of RSC Environmental journals talking about solving environmental challenges for a sustainable future. 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.
