(USP Web Events)
About the Conference
2011 has been declared the "International Year of Chemistry by the United Nations with the theme "Chemistry - Our Life, Our Future".
To celebrate this auspicious occasion, The Chemical Society of the South Pacific together with The University of the South Pacific is organizing the "International Conference on Chemistry, Environment and Climate Change- Focus on the Pacific" from September 14th to 16th 2011. The ultimate goal of this conference is to provide a much needed forum for scientists to promote and exchange recent advances in all disciplines of chemistry and how the ongoing deterioration of atmospheric chemical composition has affected our environment and what preventive measures need to be taken to find sustainable solutions to protect and safeguard the threat to survival of the mankind.
