This interdisciplinary symposium aims to explore transformative advances in materials design, synthesis, and characterization — spanning quantum materials to bio-related and bio-inspired systems.
The Molecular Frontiers symposium will be held 3-4 December in RunAn and is open to high school students as well as researchers; thus, the talks for this event are designed to be highly accessible, in a "popular science" format. The renowned researcher and author Emma Frans will be the moderator of the event.
The event is co-organized by the Nano Area of Advance at Chalmers in collaboration with Molecular Frontiers. Molecular Frontiers is a global, non-profit organization consisting of scientists and educators that organizes several events each year around the world. Its main purpose is to promote young people’s understanding of and interest in science.
Themes of the Conference Days:
The joy and responsibility of discovery
Imagining the impossible: Designing the materials of tomorrow
Can AI change the way we discover?
Beyond electronics: the power of spin
Designing a better future: from molecules to materials
Inspired by life: materials that sense and power

Registration is now open for both the technical workshop on 2 December and the symposium 3-4 December. We look forward to welcoming you!If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at nano@chalmers.se.
Programme
The programme will include lectures by invited speakers who share their experiences and expertise in their respective fields within quantum science and biotechnology. Each theme will conclude with a panel discussion with the respective researchers, where high school students have the opportunity to ask questions.In addition, the high school students will be offered workshops, guided tours of the campus and laboratory environments, as well as dinner and other student activities.
