New Materials – New Perspectives
Immediately after the closure of the Second Photopolymers Training School hosted by PCCL (Polymer Competence Center Leoben), the PhD students of Esperanto project will have the opportunity to participate in the 32nd Leoben Conference on Polymer Engineering and Science to be held on November 21st and 22nd, 2024, with the theme ‘New Materials – New Perspectives’. The planning and organization will be carried out jointly by the Department of Polymer Engineering and Science Leoben and the Polymer Competence Center Leoben.
The Program will cover a wide range of interesting topics and is aimed equally at participants from industry and academia. In four lecture sessions, topics will be dealt with that are trend-setting for many areas of polymer technology:
- Polymers for Sustainability and Circularity
- Materials for Additive Manufacturing
- Polymers for Energy Transformation, Storage and Transportation
- Future Trends in Polymer Technology
An additional highlight planned for the Plenary Session with invited presentations is a panel discussion on the topic of “Polymers in a World without Oil”, for which participants from business and politics will be invited.
This is also the fourth time that the Department of Polymer Engineering and Science Leoben, together with the Polymer Competence Center Leoben, is presenting the POLYMER SCIENCE SCHOOL AWARD. The presentation of successful spin-off companies, a poster session and the dinner on the evening of the first day round off the program of the 32nd Leoben Conference on Polymer Engineering and Science.
