IUPAC-MACRO2020, ICC Jeju, Korea 5 – 9 July

IUPAC-MACRO2020

We are delighted to be sponsoring the 48th World Polymer Congress IUPAC-MACRO 2020, at ICC Jeju in Korea on 5 – 6 July along with Polymer Chemistry.

The IUPAC-World Polymer Congress is the largest biennial international multi-symposium conference dedicated to all aspects of polymer science and engineering. Over the years, the MACRO conference has developed a strong reputation for bringing together cutting edge research from top international scientists in the field of polymer science.

The 48th World Polymer Congress will be hosted by the Polymer Society of Korea (PSK) to facilitate exchange and encourage cooperation in our common field. The PSK was founded in 1976 and consists of over 4,500 members from diverse polymer-related fields including polymer chemistry, physics, biology and engineering.

For IUPAC-MACRO2020, seven distinguished plenary speakers and more than 200 renowned speakers will be invited from all over the world including many active female scientists. We expect more than 500 contributed presentations across ten different areas in polymer science.

 

Early Bird Registration and Abstract Submissions are available now!

 

Important Dates
Online Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 March

Meet the Editor

Associate Editor Juan J. Giner-Casares obtained his PhD in Physical Chemistry at the University of Córdoba, Spain. He worked as a postdoc in the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, with Prof. Dr. H. Möhwald and Prof. Dr. G. Brezesinski, and then moved to the CIC biomaGUNE (Donostia/San Sebastián, Spain) with Prof. Dr. Luis Liz-Marzán. He is now back at the University of Córdoba enjoying a tenure track position (Ramón y Cajal).

“While finding the roots of my research in the Langmuir technique and fluid interfaces, I always look out for working in exotic and insightful self-assembling and biorelated nanosystems.”
