Dear Members, The YC2009 Satellite will take place in the afternoon of 20th April and in the morning of 21st April prior to the BCA Spring Meeting in Loughborough. As in previous years we will run three sessions of oral presentations, which are a superb opportunity for Young Crystallographers (i.e. PhD students or early post docs) to discuss their work in a relaxed environment and practise their presentation skills. There will also be a poster session on Monday evening together with a buffet dinner and drinks.
Accommodation and registration for the YC2009 will be free for Young Crystallographers once more and should be done either by filling in the registration form (make sure you tick the little box!) or by registering online on the BCA Spring Meeting website, where you can also find further information on bursary applications. Of course you don’t have to be a YC to attend our meeting! So all we need now is your abstracts! Deadline for abstracts to be considered for oral contributions is 26th January 2009 and deadline for poster abstracts is 2nd February 2009. The abstract submission is now open and should be done by logging in to the members areas on our webpage www.chem.gla.ac.uk/yc/ (please register first if you are a new member or have forgotten your details). Note that if you want to submit any poster abstracts to the main meeting this has to be done through the 2009 Spring Meeting webpage. Like in the years previously there will be a range of prizes for outstanding contributions to be awarded at the main conference dinner so get in there quick! See you all in Loughborough! Susanne Huth YCG chair
