Wiley-Blackwell, the scientific, technical, medical, and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, has announced an agreement with Pittcon, the world's premier Conference and Exposition dedicated to laboratory science. Under the deal, both parties will combine their information resources to produce four webinars in 2008-2009 as the beginning to the new 'Wiley-Blackwell/Pittcon Webinar Series.'
The webinars are hour-long web-based seminars delivered to a global audience of scientists on a specific topic of interest. Initial plans include coverage of two horizontal application topics, e.g. chromatography and spectroscopy, and two industry-specific topics such as food analysis and pharmaceutical analysis.
Each programme will be delivered by a respected scientist or thought leader in the relevant industry and made freely available to a limited number of attendees. The content of each webinar will be digitally recorded and posted on both the Wiley-Blackwell and Pittcon websites.
