Upcoming Partner Conferences (2)
Online
The National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest, under the patronage of the Academy of Romanian Scientists and L’Accademia Tiberina, are organizing the 10th Edition of the International Scientific Conference “Applications of Chemistry in Nanosciences and Biomaterials Engineering (NanoBioMat)” for young researchers on 25–27 JUNE 2025.
The conference will be held online on Microsoft Teams.
The topics for this conference include the following:
- Novel materials;
- Surface chemistry;
- Air and soil bioremediation;
- Composite materials and biomaterials;
- Applications of natural compounds and chemical products;
- Nanomaterials and bionanomaterials for the controlled release of biologically active molecules;
- Bionanoproducts for bone and tissue regeneration;
- Advanced techniques for material processing;
- Circular economy;
- Food science.
Noordwijk, The Netherlands
This conference is intended for researchers and research managers, active in the fields of the science and technology of coatings, from both industry and academia. Polymer and paint chemists, as well as surface and interface scientists, formulators, designers, and industry policymakers, will find in this conference a broad platform for exchanging the latest developments in their disciplines. The conference is especially attractive to those who appreciate in-depth presentations and discussions of a high-quality standard.
Where other conferences primarily reach a broad public and focus on commercial applications of new technologies, this conference focuses on the scientific backgrounds of the newest technological developments relevant to coatings.
Traditionally, we gather in the last week of June in Noordwijk, a small Dutch town at the north seaside. High-quality speakers, ample time for scientific discussions, and many opportunities for rewarding contacts are conference values we want to uphold.
CoSI 2025 will take place from 30 June to 3 July 2025.
We look forward to meeting you in June for (… not just) another coatings conference!
