We are delighted to invite you to join us to the first SynTech CDT networking event on the 22nd January at the Department of Chemistry.

This event will provide a brief introduction to the new SynTech CDT, which aims to train the next generation of scientists at the intersection of Synthetic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Engineering. The event will be of benefit to university academic staff from various departments who are interested to engage with the SynTech CDT but have not had an opportunity to interact with us so far. This will become a regular feature of the CDT and will open up opportunities for constructive discussions aiming to provide potential for future collaboration and exchange of ideas.
