17th & 18th April 2012, Imperial College London
The NSCCS will be holding an Applied Computational Chemistry Workshop for Synthetic Organic Chemists on the 17th & 18th April 2012 at Imperial College London.
Key features of the workshop:
- The workshop is to focus on applied computational chemistry - to emphasise how computations can support experimental research.
- Theoretical details will be kept to a minimum.
- Computational chemistry software packages will be introduced through hands-on tutorials.
- Case studies from synthetic chemists.
- Participants can apply to use the NSCCS for further computational resources, training and support. The NSCCS is a free service for all UK academics.
