19th Inorganic Discussion Weekend

 

Programme for the I.D.W. 1986 to be held at McMaster University, 1986-10-17,18.

 

All sessions will be held in the Senior Sciences Building, Room 102.  The Friday night reception will be held from 7.00p.m. in Senior Sciences Room 274.  The reception (cash bar) and Bosnich-Lever Anniversary Dinner will be held on the Saturday night in the Blue Room of the Health Sciences Center, with the reception starting at 6.30p.m. and the dinner at 7.30p.m.  Because of the shortage of oral presentations, there will be no Sunday morning session ("Hurray!" says Jack Miller).  There will be two poster sessions, Session 1 in the morning and Session 2 in the afternoon on Saturday.  The coffee breaks will be one hour long to allow poster discussion, during the coffee break, Posters will be put up on the boars in the Senior Sciences lobby.  Pins may be obtained from the registration desk.  Registration will be in the Senior Sciences Building on Friday night and Saturday morning.
