The Very First IDW !!!

INORGANIC DISCUSSION WEEKEND

September 21st/22nd 1968, GUILD INN, Scarboro, Ontario

FRONTIERS IN CHEMISTRY

An informal weekend discussion of various topics of current interest to Inorganic chemists will be held at the Guild Inn on September 21st/22nd. A number of contributed research papers of 20-30 minutes duration will be read and discussed. The number of participants is limited to 50 to ensure fruitful discussion.

Those wishing to take part should obtain an application form from the undersigned by July 10th 1968.

Applications will only be entertained from those working within a radius of approximately 200 miles of Toronto.

It is hoped that this Meeting will not only be beneficial scientifically but will serve to forge social links along inorganic chemists in the area.

A.B.P. Lever, Associate Prof. of Chemistry
