Previous information:
The Australian Organic Geochemistry Conference (AOGC) will be held at Macquarie University over 3 days from 2-4th December (Sunday to Tuesday). The conference will begin with an ice-breaker on Sunday evening which will be held 17:00-19:00 at the CSIRO North Ryde laboratories. The conference dinner will be on the evening of Monday 3rd. A fieldtrip to the Newcastle area has been arranged for Wednesday 5th December. More fieldtrip details are here (updated 23/11/12). About 25 people have signed up for the fieldtrip, which will be at no extra cost (except you buy your own lunch in Swansea RSL).
Prizes will be offered for the best student presentations, oral and poster. These will be presented at the close of the last session on Tuesday 4th. The AOGC medal for a lifetime achievement in organic geochemistry will be presented at the conference dinner.
Schedule of the conference (version 5)
There will be 33 talks and 12 posters. We have more than 54 registrants.
Registration form:
Cost for the conference is A$400 for full registrants or A$200 for registered students (incl GST).
