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 48^th 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!

RSC Advances is very pleased to be sponsoring the Chemistry Conference for Young Scientists (ChemCYS) in Blankenberge, Belgium, 19 – 21 February 2020.

ChemCYS is organised by the Royal Flemish Chemical Society (KVCV) and endorsed by the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It gives young attendees the opportunity to present early results of their research from a variety of subjects, including analytical chemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology, environmental chemistry, food chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, medicinal chemistry and many more!

The plenary speakers at this year’s event are:

• Professor Dr Sarah E. O’Connor, The University of East Anglia, UK; Planck Institute of Chemical Ecology, Germany
• Professor Dr Javier García Martínez, Director of the Molecular Nanotechnology Lab at the University of Alicante, Spain; Founder and Chief Scientist of Rive Technology Inc, Boston MA, USA
• Professor Dr Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, J. C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences and Director of the Center for Macromolecular Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

ChemCYS also features KaféCV, an entrance level networking event where participants get to know various companies and their recruitment policies. KaféCV focusses on career development rather than existing vacancies.
