Young Macromolecular Researcher Webinar - Programme

Information for the next event on 2. April 2024 can be found here  and in the table below!
Safety, Diversity and Inclusion Moments:

Every session will start with a brief safety, diversity and inclusion learning moment which has been a long standing tradition at the Young Macromolecular Researcher Webinar Series. These talks will be delivered by Daniel Krajovic (University if Minnesota).

Part I series: 5th March, 12th March, 26th March, 2nd April, 9th April

Below are the scheduled dates and times, including the confirmed speakers for the first part of this webinar series. Please return to this page regularly as new talks will be announced here weekly and on Twitter/X, @YoungMacroTalksLink opens in a new window.
