Interested in speaking at POLYMAT Spotlight 2016?

POLYMAT and the University of the Basque Country have initiated a series of workshops, in the framework of the European Project 2D-INK, entitled POLYMAT SPOTLIGHT.

The objective of this international conference is to increase the visibility of emerging and technologically-relevant macromolecular materials.

We cordially invite you to attend the next POLYMAT SPOTLIGHT, which will be held in San Sebastian (Spain), on June 21 (Tue) – June 24 (Fri), 2016.

This first edition of POLYMAT SPOTLIGHT will be devoted to Novel Approaches to 2D and Porous Polymers, including synthesis, properties and applications.
