Challenges in Chemical Renewable Energy will be the third event in the International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) series in 2013. This meeting builds upon the success of ISACS 4 on Renewable Energy by bringing together leading scientists from across the world to share scientific developments in renewable energy generation and storage.
Aims
The conference brought together exceptional researchers - all leading names in their field - for an outstanding plenary programme, complemented by contributed talks, together with extensive poster sessions that provided many networking opportunities.
