School of Chemistry
MICRA 2024
The meeting was held at the University of Leicester in September 2024.
This biennial meeting brings together researchers working across the field of inorganic chemistry. Attendees are expected to be at an early stage in their career. This includes early career academics, independent research fellows and experienced postdoctoral researchers. All attendees are encouraged to give short presentations on their work in order to introduce themselves to the community and potentially inspire new collaborations. MICRA meetings are a great opportunity to get to know the early career researchers across the UK working in inorganic chemistry.
In 2024, MICRA was hosted by the University of Leicester, School of Chemistry. Leicester has a strong history of inorganic chemistry and is a friendly city, bursting with heritage and culture.
The conference was held at the College Court Conference Centre, with a conference dinner held at one of Leicester's many fine local restaurants.
Along with oral presentations from the delegates, we hosted four plenary speakers from experienced members of the inorganic chemistry community. We also held a Q&A session to give advice and help answer those burning questions that early career researchers may have.
