Milan Polymer Days 2021

Dear Friends,

The Organizing Committee of the Milan Polymer Days congress is pleased to announce that the 5th edition of the congress, MIPOL2021, will take place from 6 to 8 July 2021. Like the previous year, the COVID-19 pandemic prevents us from holding this edition in person and, therefore, the congress will take place virtually. Nevertheless, the successful debut of the virtual edition MIPOL2020 makes us confident of being able to repeat its success.

As in MIPOL2020, the congress will consist of three days of live broadcast sessions, in which the attendees can interact with speakers and sponsors.

As in previous editions, the mission of the congress is to provide a forum where new scientific information relating to all disciplines of polymer science and technology brings together scientists with different backgrounds, both from academia and industry. Therefore, the Organizing Committee will do everything possible to allow MIPOL2021 participants to communicate with each other, by participating in group discussions and/or interacting individually.

As in MIPOL2020, we have organized a collective poster session involving in the discussion all poster presenters. This will open the congress activities on July 6th. All poster presenters will be allowed to present the poster content orally, either showing slides or a PDF file in the preferred size. Posters submitted by Young Scientists, that is, PhD students and post-doc fellows are eligible to participate, upon request, in the Poster Award competition. The oral presentations will take place on July 7th and 8th.

We are working to recreate the atmosphere of communication and participation that characterized the previous editions of the MIPOL congress series. Thanks to your active participation, we are confident to turn this event into a new success.

We will continue providing all technical information on how to participate in the Virtual MIPOL2021 congress through this page, which will be constantly updated. If you have any doubt, you are encouraged to contact us by e-mail.

We count on your enthusiastic participation!
