The Kenya National NMR Centre (KNMRC) based at the Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, Kenya, is hosting a hands-on NMR training workshop 31st July 2023 to 4th August 2023. This workshop is sponsored by the Royal Society of Chemistry/Pan African Chemistry Network and is aimed at enhancing the capabilities of Kenyan scientists in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopic techniques.
Application
Applications are invited for the above training course from the following categories; researchers, lecturers, technicians, MSc students and PhD students in the chemical sciences from universities and research institutions across Africa (East and Central Africa region). The workshop is free, and the organisers will provide accommodation and food.
Application deadline is Saturday, April 15th 2023
Selection Criteria
The participants will be selected based upon the following selection criteria:
- All participants should have at least a HND or BSc (or equivalent) in the chemical sciences
- Participants can be MSc students, PhD students, lecturers, researchers, professors or technical staff.
- Demonstrable benefit of the workshop to research or teaching in your home institution
- Strong relevance of the training to your current or planned research or teaching area
- Potential impact of the training upon the individuals experiences and career prospects
