Announcement for January 2006 Poster Competition

This is the first call for posters for the Catal­y­sis Club of Philadelphia’s Annu­al stu­dent poster con­test to be held Thurs­day, Jan­u­ary 19, 2006 at the Wilm­ing­ton Hol­i­day Inn, Naa­mans Rd and I-95. To enter, please sub­mit a short abstract of your pro­posed entry before Jan­u­ary 12, 2006, to Michael A. Smith, Direc­tor, Stu­dent Posters.

The Catal­y­sis Club of Philadel­phia is very proud of this event and views it as one of the region’s pre­mier oppor­tu­ni­ties for grad­u­ate stu­dents to show­case their work with the local chem­i­cal indus­try pro­fes­sion­als. All grad­u­ate stu­dents whose work is either direct­ly or indi­rect­ly relat­ed to catal­y­sis sci­ence and tech­nol­o­gy are encour­aged to sub­mit entries.
