RACI 2010 Chemistry for a Sustainable World

Melbourne Australia will be an exciting place for scientists in July 2010.

Chemistry for a Sustainable World is the focus of two major conferences that will be held together from 4th – 8th of July 2010 at the Melbourne Convention Centre:

The 13^th Royal Australian Chemical Institute’s National Convention, RACI 2010

In conjunction with

The 12th IUPAC International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry

As the demand for energy, food, materials, resources and technology grows, and environmental stresses become increasingly apparent, there is an urgent need for new approaches to provide a sustainable future.  The 13th RACI National Convention will provide a cross-divisional forum for chemical scientists to present their latest work and discuss the directions that chemistry research, industry and education will take as we address these challenges.
