Salters' Chemistry Camps
We were delighted to receive a large number of nominations from which it has been very difficult to make the final selection of students, as all the nominations were of such a high standard. Fifty students have been selected for each Camp. Students not selected are on a reserve list and will be contacted if a vacancy becomes available.
However, it is with great disappointment that the Camps due to be held at Heriot-Watt University have been cancelled due to an unanticipated lab refurbishment in the summer. We look forward to having them back on board in 2010. Consequently, the number of Camp places available this year is reduced.
Salters' Festivals of Chemistry
It is with regret that the second Festival at Heriot-Watt University, due to take place on Thursday 11 June 2009 has been cancelled. Please contact the Festivals Administrator for further information.
Another date has been added to the Salters' Festivals of Chemistry 2009. The University of Glasgow has agreed to host an extra Festival on Tuesday 26 May 2009. For further information please contact the Festivals Administrator on the details given below.
Please note that the date of the Festival at The University of Liverpool has changed from Wednesday 20 May 2009 to Thursday 4 June 2009
