Eva attended the 30th Annual Meeting of the Belgian Polymer Group (BPG) in Blankenberge, Belgium, from May 30 to 31, 2024. The conference gathered leading polymer science experts from academia and industry to discuss cutting-edge research and advancements in polymer science.

April 2024

Christoph participated in the scientific symposium “From the Neckar Valley to the Cordillera de los Andes: Breaking Borders with Molecular Systems Engineering” in Santiago de Chile.

With the beautiful Andes in the background, we couldn't think of a better place to talk about the latest science discoveries and improve collaborations between universities.

Philipp represented the group at this year's 3DMM2O Conference 2024

The conference 'Future 3D Additive Manufacturing – The 3DMM2O Conference 2024 on the topic 3D Cellular Systems: Synthetic Environments, Mechanobiology and Organoids' took place place from April 7th to April 11th in the baroque Schöntal Monastery, Germany. What a great venue to network and discuss new approaches in the field of 3D Printing!
