European Polymer Congress 2007
July 2nd, 2007 - July 6th, 2007
Event date:
July 2, 2007 9:00 AM to July 6, 2007 6:00 PM
The congress will bring together polymer scientists, researchers, students and other relevant people in the field, from all over the world with topics covering all major areas in polymer science. Renowned lecturers from all over the world will present their latest work and findings; there will be also a large exhibition and stand area and extensive poster sessions.
The successful organization and planning of the European Polymer Congress requires the generous support of sponsors to help finance the cost of invitations of young scientists so as to enable us to produce the high quality publications accompanying the event and to invite other prominent scientist to present and share their valuable work and research findings. To achieve our goal of organizing and promoting such a prestigious conference, your enthusiastic support is greatly appreciated.
