The Inaugural Singapore Catalysis Forum

 

The Inaugural Singapore Catalysis Forum

Creation Theatrette, Matrix Level 4, Biopolis, Singapore
8.45 am – 5.00 pm
17 APR 08

 

The Singapore Catalysis Forum is the inaugural event organised by the newly formed Singapore Catalysis Society. Not only will leading scientists from academia and industry present on heterogeneous, homogeneous, and bio catalysis research, they will also form a panel to discuss trends in catalysis worldwide. Another highlight of this forum is a one-place review update of catalysis research activities in Singapore, by representatives from our Universities, Research Institutes, and Polytechnics.
 
We hope this important event will serve as a catalyst to promote more interaction and collaboration among catalysis researchers in Singapore. Come to network and join in the celebration of the launch of the Singapore Catalysis Society, and at the same time learn more about the latest advances in catalysis research.
 

 

Registration is open until 7 Apr 2008.
