Overview

Fellows' Research Weekend hosted by Professor Dianne Edwards CBE FRS and Professor Richard Catlow FRS.

Research Weekends at Chicheley Hall are part of the Fellows' Social Programme at the Society. These meetings have a relaxed 2-day format, which aims to bring together our Fellows to share interesting science in an informal and social setting. January’s Research Weekend is hosted by Professor Dianne Edwards CBE FRS and Professor Richard Catlow FRS. Each day will feature a series of talks connected by the diverse theme of carbon: from the use of carbon isotopes in archaeology, to carbon sequestration and non-carbon based energy technologies. Time will also be set aside in the programme for free time and a tour of Chicheley Hall and its grounds. A full programme will be made available shortly.

To cover some of the accommodation and catering costs we ask for a contribution of £75 from Fellows and Foreign Members. Guests of Fellows are very welcome, and do not need to be a Fellow to attend. However, there is a separate pricing structure for guests.

To book a place on the research weekend or for further information please contact fellowship@royalsociety.org.
