University of Birmingham and Indian Institute of Technology Webinar Series on Chemistry

Welcome to the joint webinar series between Schools of Chemistry at University of Birmingham (UoB), UK, and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, India.

As a first step towards realising the potential of the strategic partnership between Schools of Chemistry at UoB and IIT Madras, we are holding this monthly webinar series where academics can share their research and expertise with other academics, PDRAs, and PhD students. We hope that this webinar series will open dialogues among researchers in the two schools to develop joint grant applications, publications, exchange visits, and so on. 

The webinars are scheduled for every last Thursday of the month starting 11 am (GMT+1) or 3.30pm (IST) and between November 2023 and February 2024 10am (GMT) or 3.30pm (IST) . If you are interested in becoming part of this community and/or have any queries, please contact Dr Ruchi Gupta (r.gupta.3@bham.ac.uk), School of Chemistry, University of Birmingham.
