ACS Young Investigator Symposium Awards

This DIC symposium honors talented young inorganic chemists, and provides a high-profile forum for them to present their research results. Young Investigator Symposia feature 8 speakers delivering a ca 25-minute presentation at the annual Fall National ACS Meetings. The DIC will provide a $1000 honorarium for each speaker and a plaque to commemorate her/his participation in the event.  For information, please visit the student awards page or contact one of the current DIC Awards co-chairs.
