3e CYCLE DE CHIMIE
Visites scientifiques / Scientific visits 2010
Below is the list of the 21 scientific visits that are planned for 2010. Details may change in the course of time, but these changes will be imfplemented immediately, so recheck this webpage to stay up to date.
Each local organizer should:
(a) Draft a day schedule for the visit (see example), and
(b) Circulate a presence list for each seminar (available as a PDF or a Word document)
and transmit both to the president on the day after the visit.
The below list is also available for downloading as a PDF-file
