Call for Abstracts
The Catalysis Club of Chicago (CCC) will hold the second of its annual Young Scientist Symposium virtually on Friday January 13, 2023. This is a virtual event with oral talks and poster sessions given by students and postdocs and open to attendance from all members of the CCC including faculty, national lab, and industry members. The program is scheduled to begin at 9:30 AM and end at 5 PM Central Time. We are holding this Young Scientist focused symposium in the winter (January) in addition to the traditional in-person Spring Symposium (May) at the end of our annual cycle. This symposium will feature eight student/postdoc speakers, a poster session, and both technical and career focused keynote speakers. The spring symposium in May will feature additional keynote lectures and more time for networking but will not have a poster session. With this format, we aim to increase our ability to highlight the amazing work performed by students and postdoctoral researchers in the CCC Geographic area, while providing an additional opportunity to network and get to know members from other institutions within the club.
Please follow the instructions below and visit the CCC website for the latest information: https://catalysisclubchicago.com/.
