The 3-day symposium will feature 15 plenary lectures (of 50 minutes each), given by outstanding scientists whose exceptionally creative work opens up new frontiers for polymer science.
In addition, there will be 5 poster sessions allowing for the viewing of a large number of poster presentations. The deadline for receiving abstracts for poster presentations is: 1 December 2008
