Thrust mini-symposia on catalysis, and inorganic crystallography
The virtual mini-symposia will encompass presentations by experienced users of neutron and X-ray facilities to illustrate the possibilities of how South African scientists could benefit from access to neutron and X-ray facilities. The sessions will serve to be informative to expert and non-expert users to facilitate active participation.
"Catalysis” mini-symposium, scheduled for 22 September 2020 between 1:00-3:30pm, is coordinated by Nico Fischer (UCT). Zoom link to access the meeting and agenda are below.
