Early career colloids researchers' meeting

Introduction

We are inviting young researchers and scientists in this area to take advantage of this meeting for sharing professional experiences, networking and career development opportunities. There will be talks and posters from delegates, flash presentations, keynotes and a panel session. Keynote speakers and panels will also be young industrialists and academics who recently received their permanent positions or started their own research groups within the last 5 years. The panel session will be question-and-answer format in order to share their experience on how to get into the career that we dream of. What would you need to know on your first day as a PhD student? What helped them getting into a position they always wanted?

Contributions are expected from a wide range of disciplines in both academia and industry related to colloids, surfaces and interfaces.

PhD students, post-docs and new industrialists wishing to present have three options:

Oral paper (20 minutes)
Flash poster presentation (5 slides, 5 minutes)
Poster (A0: 1189 mm x 841 mm, portrait)

An abstract of maximum one A4 page or 300 words indicating title, authors and preference for presentation option (Oral, Flash or Poster) should be sent to conferences@soci.org by the abstract deadline. Oral presentation slots are inevitably limited and will be allocated to achieve a balanced programme. Topics may be results, reviews or plans and may have already been presented elsewhere.
