'Under 35’s' and 'IGNITE - Pitch the Investors' sessions at Ecochem 2013
At Ecochem (November 19-21, 2013), we are looking for your help to spot bright individuals with new ideas and exciting research to help us communicate the message of sustainable chemistry.
During our November event, we are creating the 'Under 35’s' and 'IGNITE - Pitch the Investors' sessions, which allow students, young innovators and future industry leaders to present to the 2000+ event delegates.
The presentations should be based on research or new ideas on green and sustainable chemistry, products, technologies and processes.
If you, as a young scientist, or one of your colleague under the age of 35 are interested in either of the sessions listed below then upload your proposal here (between 350-500 words), or contact
Kind regards,
Gemma Grainger
