Poster Prize
A prize of R1500 sponsored by the Royal Society of Chemistry will be awarded for the best poster presented by a Student or Young Scientist (i.e. a scientist under the age of 35).
Owing to the somewhat isolated venue of the workshop, it may be difficult to correct problems once on site. Therefore I request that any speakers who intend to use an electronic presentation (eg. Powerpoint or Presentations) e-mail a copy of the presentation to me, Dave Liles ( ), a week or more before the workshop, so that I can ensure that the file is intact and runs properly with our equipment and software. Our mail system can handle files upto 8 to 9 Mb in size. If necessary, a compressed file (eg .zip) can be sent. I recommend that speakers do this, as a precaution against disaster, even if they intend bringing their own notebook PCs. [Please note: We wish to discourage speakers from using their own notebook PCs, etc. as we will be running on a very tight schedule owing to the large number of talks to be fitted in and swapping equipement between talks can waste a considerable amount of time.] Speakers should also bring a copy of the presentation with them on disk (eg CD-R or USB Flash Drive). I will e-mail a reminder of this to all speakers closer to the time.
