The 2017 Materials for Tomorrow conference focuses on the topic "Materials for Health", with keynote and invited presentations by a number of experts in the field. The program spans two days and covers five different themes (see below). There will also be a poster session to which submissions are welcome.
On Nov 6, there will also be Young Scientists Forum, a career based session especially for masters’ and bachelors’ students. Experts in the field will give their views on why biomaterials research is an exciting career option, which we hope will spark some interesting discussions!
