Salon D (Marriott Rivercenter)
Oral Session
This session includes 7 presentations

Information

The development of new synthetic methodologies and strategies has been the cornerstone upon which sustainable industrial processes are built. The pure research advances arising from academia fuel the world s industrial innovation, while also training the scientific leaders of tomorrow. This special session highlights the research of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars across the broader, global organic chemistry community which has the potential to impact sustainable industrial chemistry. From abstracts submitted to this session, eight or more students will be selected to: Give a 20-minute oral presentation Receive up to $1200 each in travel reimbursement Be invited to a pre-conference, full-day student workshop Be invited to the exclusive ACS GCI Industrial Roundtable Poster Reception
