We are a group of scientists from the **University of Milan** dedicated to research on **polymers**, both basic and applied, to **teaching** and **scientific communication** in its broadest terms. **We aim to extend the scope of our scientific communication to both science professionals and society at large**. Here we begin to introduce ourselves to those who do not yet know us. Furthermore, we would like to mention the colleagues and friends, who have supported since the beginning the **Milan Polymer Days** initiative, either as members of the scientific committee or members of the award committees or as representatives of the **Italian Society of Chemistry** or the **National Research Council**, without forgetting our smart **Ph.D. students** who helped us organize the congress and bring it to a successful conclusion.
