What is NOSIC
- Aims: A meeting not strictly on Inorganic Chemistry (NOSIC) tries to gather in a friendly atmosphere a small group of chemists, mostly with research activities in the area of Inorganic Chemistry, to discuss at the interface between Chemistry and other areas of Culture, mostly on the humanistic side. In the end we wish to enhance the permeability of the Chemistry curricula to our cultural and historical background.
