7-9 January 2020, University of Strasbourg- France
The ProtoMet Consortium organizes the Protomet Catalysis Winter School. The School aims to provide high-level training covering a broad range of topics in catalysis, prebiotic chemistry and chemical network design, integrated with cutting-edge applied research lectures. All the ProtoMet PIs will be present at the school to open a forum for international cross-disciplinary early career-specific scientist networking with student-led career development discussion panels.
REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
Registration to ProtoMet Catalysis Winter School is now open until the 13th of December. The registration Fee to the ProtoMet Catalysis Winter School is 300 Euros. The fee includes coffee breaks and participation to the Winter School dinner.

Hi.
It sounds very interesting! Is there going to be a cost for the winter school?
Cheers
Hello Alberto!
Thanks for your comment.
Registration to the winter school will open soon. It is estimated that registration will have a cost of 300 euros.
As soon as the system is open we will announce it at the webpage.
