The conference will be held online (free of charge) on June 16th, 2021 from 9:30 am to 6 pm
Today science is essential to enable comfort and welfare, as well as prosperity to regions and countries. This implies fostering the creativity of scientists and consequent innovations to support the current societal challenges. In this respect, advanced materials offer a variety of solutions that are based on the idea that “Materials are everywhere even in our body!”. Within these solutions, it is vital to consider the reuse of residues, recycling, and circularity to serve a Green Agenda and bring an eco-sustainable environment, as we do not have a planet B as an alternative solution!
In this regard, the future of our planet will have advanced materials at the heart of our progress and cannot be thought of as an isolated cluster. In fact, the role of advanced materials is to foster several economic sectors, by exploiting materials on their multiple latitudes to provide outstanding structural and functional applications of materials, particularly by understanding the nanoscale, as this is the scale by which the digital, bio, and physical worlds can communicate and interact.
The aim of this conference, which is organized under the auspices of the Portuguese Presidency of the European Union, is to contribute towards the future, where advanced materials are the driven force for societal and economic transformations.
