Join us for a Molecular Frontiers symposium on quantum materials and bio applications that brings together the brightest minds in science. Prepare to be captivated by a series of compelling lectures and dynamic discussions that will dive into the latest groundbreaking discoveries and innovations. The event 2-4 December will be held in RunAn and is open to high school students and researchers. The renowned researcher and author Emma Frans will be the moderator.
This interdisciplinary symposium aims to explore transformative advances in materials design, synthesis, and characterization — spanning from quantum materials to bio-related and bio-inspired systems. This symposium is open to researchers, students, high-school students, and teachers. 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.
The registration opens after the summer.
