Going Beijing to attend ICOSCAR-4 conference


 
 


Tomorrow I will go to Beijing to participate ICOSCAR-4, the 4 th International Conference on STRUCTURED CATALYSTS AND REACTORS which will be held in China National Convention Center. If anyone of my blog readers participating the conference, I would like to meet you there. As I speak Mandarin Chinese fluently, I will be able to help you with lot of things in Beijing. So, do not be hesitate to contact me via xiaosube{at}hotmail{dot}com. I will be giving oral presentation on 27th of September (final day of the conference) and I am little bit excited as it is my first conference.
