Missouri Inorganic Day 2013
This year the 26th Missouri Inorganic Day, MOID -2013 will be held at the Havener Center in Missouri S&T Rolla on May 4th from 9 am - 5 pm. On this warm summer day right in the middle of everywhere we will have a tantalizing session garnished with presentations about the various exciting inorganic chemistry research going on in and around Missouri.
Participation from all levels of researchers including undergraduates, graduates, post-doctoral associates and faculties are requested. We are especially encouraging oral presentations from researchers who are on the threshold of starting their independent careers like post-doctoral associates, senior graduate students and junior faculty members.
A poster session will be held during the lunch hours from 12 - 2 pm. This would be a great opportunity for increasing your professional network and showcase your research to the fellow Missourians and open up the gate for possible collaborations. All this and more right in the heart of Missouri on 4th May 2013.
Registration for this meeting will be open from 5th April - 1st May 2013. A meeting itinerary including submitted abstracts for oral and poster presentations, a campus map, meeting location and direction for parking is available as a downloadable PDF file.
For any further enquiries please contact Manashi Nath (nathm@mst.edu) or Amitava Choudhury (choudhurya@mst.edu).
