We are excited to launch the latest issue of the IYCN Newsletter. In this issue, you can read about the IYCN presence at the 20th Northeast Student Chemistry Research Conference (USA), 1st TYAN International Thematic Workshop (Argentina) and IYCN Representation at EYCN Delegates Assembly (Italy). You can also find the first eight chemists selected for the IUPAC’s Periodic Table of Younger Chemists.
Enjoy reading!
Kindly supported by ChemPubSoc Europe, the Austrian Younger Chemists Network (Jungchemiker) encourage young researchers (Bachelor or Master students, PhD students) to show their project in a short video with maximum length of 150 seconds. As a prize, the top 3 submissions will be awarded 100 EUR.
See Jungchemiker's web page for further information.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of IUPAC and the International Year of the Periodic Table, IUPAC and IYCN announce the creation of a Periodic Table of Younger Chemists. Beginning in July 2018 and ending in July 2019 at the World Chemistry Congress and IUPAC General Assembly, we will honor a diverse group of 118 outstanding younger chemists from around the world.
The deadline for this first 8 elements of IUPAC's Periodic Table of Younger Chemists is extended until 11th June. So do not hesitate and use your opportunity to nominate a candidate. All nominations are to be submitted via the on-line form.
