Conference dinner

The optional Frontiers in Polymer Science Gala Dinner will be held on Wednesday 31 May at Universeum opens in new tab/window in Gothenburg.

Universeum is the national science centre of Sweden and a powerful arena for learning and popular education in science, technology and sustainable development.

A welcome drink and starter will be served in the Aquarium Hall followed by dinner in the restaurant.

Universeum is within walking distance of the symposium venue

There will be a two-course seated meal after the welcome drink and starter served in the Aquarium Hall.

This will be great opportunity to mingle with colleagues and relax, tickets to the dinner can be booked at the same time as registering for the conference and cost €70 (+VAT).

Places are limited, so to avoid disappointment please book early via the online registration system
