Mini-conference "Functional Materials Engineering"

In this mini-conference we will focus on the complete value chain of functional materials engineering. We will dive into the deposition and application of functional materials as well as its characterization.

Registrations will start in June

During this mini-conference, masterclasses and key-note presentations from experts in the field will be combined with training of researchers on valorization and IP. As a participant you can also submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation.
