IIES Online Seminar Series | Nanoparticles
Wednesdays from April 20 – JUNE 29, 2022
The IIES is pleased to offer a FREE online seminar series on Nanoparticles. The series runs every Wednesday from April 20 to June 29, 2022.
Contributors: Institute of Soil Science (CAS, Nanjing), University of Montreal (Canada), Institute of High Energy Physics (CAS, Beijing), Carnegie Mellon University, Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (US), Trent University (Canada), Nanjing University (China)
Each week join a faculty member from one of the contributing universities who will share their research and expertise. Lectures run approximately an hour in length with a short Q&A to follow. The talks are FREE and available to anyone interested. The seminars are live each week and will begin at:
08:00 AM EDT (GMT -04:00)
* Be sure to check your local timezone.
