JEOL Prize and Lectures

jeol

The RSC ESR Group Committee is pleased to announce the 24th Annual Jeol Prize Talk Competition, sponsored by JEOL.

This competition is open to any doctoral student (typically in year 2 or beyond) and 1st year post-doctoral scientists. The 2020 lectures were selected on the basis of the abstracts submitted, and will be judged on the basis of both scientific content and delivery. While delayed by the cancellation of the 2020 conference the committee are delighted to announce that the talks will take place on-line. The organising committee is grateful to JEOL for their continued sponsorship of this prize, and for their agreement to deliver the 2020 session in this format!

The details required to access the meeting have been sent to all registered conference delegates and will also be available via our maillist but for security aren’t posted here. We are also pleased to partner with the IEPRS, filling one of their Virtual EPR Meeting slots. Each participant is allocated 20 minutes for their talk and questions. To indicate that you want to ask a question in the meeting please use the raise hand feature so that the meeting host can unmute you. The schedule for the talks is as follows:
