Thrust mini-symposia on nanomaterials
Sep 25, 2020
Our partners from South Africa, Necsa and iThemba LABS, are inviting you to participate in the mini-symposia on nanomaterials.
The event will be held online on 28 September 2020 from 2pm to 4p via Zoom:
https://zoom.us/j/98888752739.
The virtual mini-symposium 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. Feel free to spread the news and distribute this information to any colleagues that may benefit from the event.
The scene for the discussions will be set in accordance with the program:
