27th
Annual Meeting of the
British
Zeolite Association
University of St.
Andrews
5th
- 7th July 2004
The 2004 Meeting of the British Zeolite Association is to be held in the beautiful Scottish town of St. Andrews. The meeting will follow the format of previous two-day BZA conferences, with an emphasis on contributions from younger scientists, as well as invited lectures from established experts in the field. All aspects of the science of nanoporous materials are welcome, and a wide range of synthesis, characterisation and applications will be covered in the invited lectures. Whatever your own field, there will be something for you, and plenty of state-of-the-art science in related areas. In organising these meetings, the BZA aims to provide an enjoyable and stimulating environment for high quality scientific discussion. I hope you will be able to come this year for a special meeting.

The Second Circular and Lecture Programme is now available
The meeting will therefore include sessions on synthesis, structure, modelling, catalysis, detergency and other applications of microporous and mesoporous materials, but will embrace all aspects of the science of nanoporous solids.
The meeting will begin at 3 pm on Monday 5th July and finish at lunchtime on Wednesday 7th July. The conference banquet will be held on the evening of the 6th July. As an added bonus, the RSC Solid State Discussion group will hold their meeting in St. Andrews at the same time and a joint event is planned to enable the two related communities to meet.
Accommodation will be available on the Sunday evening, 4th July, for those who wish to arrive early and make the most of the venue. This is highly recommended for those who like history, architecture, walking, sunbathing (possibly) or golfing.
