Frontiers in Polymer Science will be held 29 May – 1 June 2023 in Gothenburg, Sweden  in association with Progress in Polymer SciencePolymerEPJPolymer Degradation and StabilityReactive and Functional Polymers and Polymer Testing and in partnership with Materials Today.

The Symposium will feature 9 plenary lectures, given by outstanding scientists whose exceptionally work represents new frontiers for polymer science. Three parallel sessions with invited and contributed talks in addition to large poster sessions will cover interdisciplinary hot topics within polymer science.

The Andrew Keller Award for Best European Paper will be presented at the conference: This best paper award is for authors submitting a paper to a virtual special issue collection.

As with the previous six editions of this top quality international event, we expect to attract more than 600 participants from over 50 countries.

We look forward to welcoming you to Gothenburg in 2023!
