RSC-IISER Desktop Seminar Series

¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº is organising a series of Desktop Seminars with Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISERs). Each seminar will feature a journal published by the RSC and discuss research targeted on subject areas related to it.

PCCP Desktop Seminar 

The first in the RSC-IISER Desktop Seminar Series is jointly organised by PCCP and IISER Thiruvananthapuram.  This virtual event will have scientific talks by renowned researchers across the areas of Physical ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº including the Chair and Deputy Chair of PCCP. The seminar will bring together scientists in a stimulating and friendly environment that will facilitate sharing of knowledge and foster collaborations in times of limited travel. You will also have the opportunity to speak to the team behind the journal and learn more about the RSC products.
