1.  TIMELINE

2.  SITE OF CONFERENCE

The symposium will be held in the "China's Summer Capital" of Xining, capital of Qinghai Province. Situated at the upstream of the Huangshui River, which is a major branch of the Yellow River, the city is in reality the eastern gateway of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, encompassed by clusters of mountains and rivers. The local people never encounter extreme cold in winter or scorching heat in summer. In particular, the August Xining is pleasantly cool and captivatingly blooming with flowers and trees. As such, the city is rated as one of the three Chinese summer resorts.

3.  CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to ask the representatives to pass in papers related to the following fields:

• Inorganic Chemistry and Inorganic Materials
• Geochemistry and Solution Chemistry
• Applied Chemistry and Inorganic Chemical Engineering
• Education and Renovation in Chemistry

All submissions should abide by all institutional or national confidentiality regulations, and be clearly free from any conflicts of interests. Plus, authors should be exclusively responsible for the all the contents represented in their articles. A portion of the submissions will be published in Journal Salt Lake Research with prior consents from the authors. Please use the attached article template to prepare your articles.
