Material Matters is a seminar series on the critical role of materials in shaping the future.

Materials are central to solving some of the greatest challenges of our time – from the transition to fossil-free energy, to next-generation pharmaceuticals, electronics, and circular solutions.

By better understanding, designing, and applying materials, we can unlock innovations that make a difference – for the climate, for human health, and for technological progress.

Material Matters is an interdisciplinary seminar series exploring the wide-ranging significance and potential of materials science. We invite leading international researchers from academia, industry, and other sectors to share their insights, spark dialogue, and inspire new thinking.

Join us for a series of thought-provoking seminars on the materials shaping tomorrow.
