School of Chemistry hosts Analytical Chemistry Conference and Remembrance Day for Professor Jeremy Glennon
The School of Chemistry recently played host to the 10th Conference for Analytical Sciences in Ireland (CASI) on July 3rd and 4th which also coincided with a remembrance day for Professor Jeremy Glennon on July 2nd.
Posting on LinkedIn, Professor Eric Moore wrote, "Congratulations to all the participants who attended the 10th Conference for Analytical Sciences in Ireland on the 3rd and 4th July in the Devere Hall, University College Cork! It was a fantastic event with an incredible calibre of presentations (oral and poster). Well done to all our winners! Special thank you to our sponsors for your continued support with this event. It was a welcome return to this conference series for the Republic of Ireland Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Division. We also remembered the late Professor Jeremy Glennon on a special day in the Aula Maxima on the 2nd July in UCC and celebrated the occasion with family and friends and the planting of an Oak tree on the lower grounds."
Speaking on the Remembrance event for Professor Jeremy Glennon, Professor Anita Maguire, Head of School said, "This is a very important occasion for Jeremy’s friends, colleagues and former members of his research team to come together with Jeremy’s family, acknowledge his strengths as a colleague and friend, his very significant impact on Analytical Chemistry at UCC throughout his career and his support for others especially students and early career researchers. He is greatly missed."
Continuing to speak on the CASI event, Professor Maguire said, "Given UCC’s location at the heart of a globally significant pharma and biopharma cluster, Analytical Chemistry is a key discipline within the School of Chemistry providing industry relevant programmes and training at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and through CPD, and with internationally competitive research programmes in in a number of areas including separation science and sensors. In this context hosting the 10th CASI in UCC is very welcome providing an opportunity for researchers, students and PIs in Analytical Chemistry nationally and internationally to share their latest results and develop professional networks across the academic and industry sectors. Well done to Eric, Melissa and all involved in bringing this important conference to UCC."
