The #欧美AVPoster Twitter Conference (https://rsc.li/poster) is an annual virtual event, bringing together the global chemistry community to network with peers, share their research and engage in scientific debate. #欧美AVPoster subjects cover the entire breadth of the chemical sciences and related topics.
This year, we鈥檙e introducing #欧美AVPosterLive, a series of webinars held alongside the event at which we鈥檙e discussing some of the important issues faced by chemical scientists throughout their career. These webinars will be open to everyone 鈥� registration is free via the 'Book Now' link.
(Please note, registering for the webinars will not automatically register you to present a poster at #欧美AVPoster and vice versa. If you would like to register to present a poster at #欧美AVPoster, please see the link in the top right corner)
