Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry - Focus on Africa Edition

In association with VCCA-2022 the organizing committee of the Virtual Winter
School on Computational Chemistry will be holding a one-day satellite
symposium on Friday August 5. This one-day event will be hosted in the
VWSCC's space, kindly sponsored by Gather, and will be a condensed
version of our annual VWSCC event, focusing on showcasing African science to
the rest of the world. Since 2015 through VWSCC we have endeavored to bring
our speakers to the rest of the world virtually. In this event we hope the
global community will come to see what is happening in Africa. The day will
be a mixture of invited talks, poster presentations and panel discussions on
topics such as getting jobs, forming collaborations, computing resources,
education…
