EFNÍS Conference 2024

The 10th national Efnís conference will be held in collaboration with FÍN (Félag íslenskra náttúrufræðinga) on Friday, October 25th. The conference will focus on the theme Chemistry in Iceland – education, research and industry. Although presentations that relate to this theme are especially welcome, all chemistry-related presentations are welcome.

Location

This year, the conference will take place at Fosshótel Reykjavík (Þórunnartún 1) in the Gullfoss A room.

Program

The conference will be held the whole day of October 25th, with a conference dinner in the evening. It is possible to join just for the presentations and poster sessions, just for the conference dinner (to be held at Icelandair Hotel Natura), or you can join for everything.

Presentations

There will be three types of presentations at the conference:

  • Plenary seminars
  • Micro seminars
  • Poster presentations: There will also be poster sessions at the end of the day. Presenters are asked to be at their posters at least for half an hour to present their posters and answer questions, and then they also have time to look at other posters.
