Molten Salts Discussion Group’s Students’ Research Meeting 2015

 

Introduction: The Molten Salts Discussion Group is one of the most active Interest Groups of the RSC which organises three Research Meetings every year; one in the summer, one just before Christmas, and a dedicated Students’ Research Meeting. These meetings are informative and inspiring events which give an opportunity to both established researchers, and up-and-coming younger researchers, to disseminate and discuss their findings in an informed, friendly and supportive environment.

 

The MSDG Committee cordially invites all students working in the area of molten salts and ionic liquids to participate in this year’s Students’ Meeting. The meeting is FREE to attend and you will be provided with lunch, afternoon tea, a wine reception and a prize-giving ceremony for the best presentations.

 

The MSDG is honoured to have the Meeting opened by Professor Derek Fray (University of Cambridge)
