Introduction 3rd Faraday joint interest group conference 2023 Welcome from the organisers
Dear Participant, It is our pleasure to welcome you to Sheffield for the 2023 Faraday joint interest group conference. This conference is the third in the series, following on from a very successful first conference in Warwick in 2017 and online in 2021. The conference will take place in hybrid format, and we look forward to welcoming you either in person or online. Organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Faraday Community for Physical Chemistry and associated interest groups, the conference’s aims are to showcase the research of the UK physical chemistry community, and to encourage links with international researchers and with industry. The conference offers a programme of broad themes that reflect the breadth and impact of the field. Thus we hope there will be many opportunities during the week for informal discussions where you can make new connections as well as renewing old ones. The conference is composed of plenary lectures, poster sessions, an exhibitions hall, and four parallel sessions of keynote and contributed lectures organised by the following Faraday Division associated interest groups:
Astrophysical Chemistry Group Biophysical Chemistry Group Colloid and Interface Science Group Gas Kinetics Group Industrial Physical Chemistry Group Neutron Scattering Group Photophysics and Photochemistry Group Solid Surfaces Group Spectroscopy & Dynamics Group Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics Group Surface Reactivity and Catalysis Group Theoretical Chemistry Group
We are pleased to welcome one of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s career specialists to the conference, Robert Bowles. Robert will be offering CV one-to-one surgeries throughout the conference period. Sign-up sheets for these CV surgeries are available at the registration desk. We are also delighted to welcome Anne Horan, Senior Programme Manager, RSC Science Communities, who will give a short presentation on findings from the RSC’s Sustainable Laboratories Report. Our plenary lecturers include two Royal Society of Chemistry Prize and Award winners: 2021 Faraday Lectureship Prize Laura Gagliardi, University of Chicago 2021 Tilden Prize Jonathan Reid, University of Bristol We are also delighted that three of our keynote lecturers were RSC Prize and Award winners in 2022: 2022 Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize Volker Deringer, University of York 2022 Environment, Sustainability and Energy Division Early Career Award Anabel Lanterna, University of Nottingham 2022 Faraday Division Mid-Career Award: Bourke-Liversidge Award Vasilios Stavros, University of Warwick
