A virtual experience
ACS Seminars is a series of virtual events hosted by ACS in collaboration with institutes in India for researchers looking to engage with globally distinguished names in the field of chemistry and interfacing areas of science.
This iteration of ACS Seminars is being organized in collaboration with the School of Basic Sciences, IIT Mandi. The two-day virtual event will feature ten national and international speakers discussing their research under the theme of “Advances in Multifunctional Nanomaterials”. The event will also witness the flash talks by four enterprising early career researchers.
Pre-registration is mandatory to participate in the event. There is No Fee to attend the event.
