Introduction

            The Penang International Conference for Young Chemists (ICYC 2010) is a biennial conference organized specifically for young chemists by the postgraduate students of the School of Chemical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang.  Due to the overwhelming response from participants and speakers for the past ICYC 2006 and 2008, the School of Chemical Sciences is continuing this unique biennial tradition for the year 2010.

           During the course of the three day conference, participants will be provided with an opportunity to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Chemistry. This conference will be attended by reputed scientists (invited speakers), academic staff, scientists, researchers and young student scholars, and decision makers.  It is hoped that the upcoming third Penang ICYC 2010 will make a significant impact on both local and international chemists.

The main objectives of the conference are to:

• Foster a strong communication medium for the exchange of ideas for local and international postgraduate chemistry researchers.

• Provide opportunities for young chemists to establish research contacts and to find global partners for future collaborations.

• Bring together, top international scientists and researchers presenting cutting-edge discoveries, developments and research.

Closing Date for Registration and abstract submission: 30^th April 2010
