Abstract Submission

 
The Catal­y­sis Club of Chica­go invites you to sub­mit abstracts for oral or poster pre­sen­ta­tions. Please vis­it the Club’s web­site to down­load the tem­plate for abstract sub­mis­sion (http://www.catalysisclubchicago.org/2012SymposiumAbstract.doc). The length of abstracts for oral pre­sen­ta­tions should not exceed one page and those for poster pre­sen­ta­tions should not exceed one half page. Twen­ty five min­utes will be allot­ted for each oral pre­sen­ta­tion. Please indi­cate what type of pre­sen­ta­tion you would pre­fer. Due to the lim­it­ed speak­ing slots, if you request an oral pre­sen­ta­tion also indi­cate if you would like to be con­sid­ered for a poster. Prizes will be award­ed for the three best stu­dent posters.

Please sub­mit your abstract to Rafael Alcala, Pro­gram Chair of CCC at Rafael.alcala@bp.com by April 22, 2012.
