Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Discussion Group
Summer Research Meeting 2018
SUMMER RESEARCH MEETING 2018
24 - 26 July, Downing College, University of Cambridge
Summer Research Meetings
The MSDG organises three Research Meetings per year, one in the summer, one just before Christmas and an Early Career Researchers' meeting. These meetings are informative and inspiring events which give opportunity to both established and up-and-coming younger researchers to disseminate and discuss their findings in a friendly and constructive environment.
The MSDG is particularly keen to promote the work and activities of younger researchers so participation of students and postdoctoral researchers is most welcome.
Invited Speakers
Dr Ian Scott
Moltex Energy
Dr Dion Vaughan
Metalysis Ltd
Prof Tom Welton
Imperial College London
