I am pleased to announce that the 6th Annual VIVA NMR
symposium will take place Wednesday, June 27th at Simon Fraser University
(Burnaby Mountain Campus) in Burnaby B.C. Yes, that is only 6 weeks away! This year we will also celebrate the opening of our new
"Bruker Spectroscopy Facility" in the newly renovated SFU Chemistry
Department.
The aim of this one day symposium is to bring together
NMR users, researchers and managers from western Canada and the north-west of
the USA to share information on topics of general NMR interest and to foster
the development of an NMR community.
Talks or poster presentations by graduate students are
especially encouraged.
Talks must be registered before June 15th, all other
registrations will end on June 20th. On-line registration should be available soon at:
The symposium is designed to be affordable and thanks to
generous sponsorship by Bruker Canada and Agilent Technologies, the
registration fees are only $20 for students and $40 for non-students which
includes the lunch BBQ and afternoon poster social session.
The program will consist of 15-20 minute talks, a BBQ
lunch at the Highland Pub, and a poster session/social gathering. A meeting of NMR facility managers is scheduled to follow
immediately after the conference. For further details see the conference website: http://www.sfu.ca/~vivanmr
Due to the short time available we have not been able to
reserve special accommodation this year but there are links on the website to
accommodation at SFU.
Please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone
who might be interested.
I hope to see you all soon!
Sincerely,
Andrew
