Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

This two day meeting is the second in a series organised jointly by the SCI and RSC on the topic of flow chemistry. The international speaker list and exciting spread of themes should attract delegates from both academia and industry.

 
Attendees

The meeting is directed at both individuals with a curiosity into what Flow Chemistry is and how it may benefit them/their organisations and those people already involved in the area.
