14th Annual RACI R & D Topics Conference
Tuesday 5th - Saturday 9th December 2006

History

The RACI R&D Topics conference, initiated in 1992 by Professor Neil Barnett (School of Biological & Chemical Science, Deakin University), is based on a similar conference for postgraduate students held by the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK).

 R&D Topics is unique in that it is a conference attended and organised by postgraduate students and early career researchers, with supervisors and companies welcome to attend.

 Previous conferences, hosted by various universities around Australia, including Monash University (2005), University of Melbourne (2004) and the University of Western Sydney (2003), have registered over 100 delegates in the fields of analytical and environmental chemistry, with students highlighting their research through oral seminars and poster sessions.

The long running status (now in its 14th year) of the R&D Topics is a tribute to the great success of this conference format, with many former students now attending the conference as supervisors.
