We have great pleasure in announcing the twin events cited. The Chemistry Symposium is a continuation of our Symposium series that goes back over two decades. This will be a forum for young researchers – both students and faculty – to participate and present their current research findings and will include both oral and poster presentations. As the first Mid-Year meeting of CRSI is being held the next day and will include both invited talks and poster presentations, this will also be a great opportunity for young researchers to interact with leading lights of the National Chemistry community.
