The past and on-going FP7 and Horizon 2020 projects will have an opportunity to highlight their potential impact on industry and society, to trigger private investment and learn from the hand-picked international success stories.
Three projects have been shortlisted and will be showcasing their demos and concepts at the exhibition.
During the EuroNanoForum 2017 conference, each of the exhibits will be evaluated and the winner will be awarded the Nanofy! Best Project award on stage at the Conference reception on the 22nd.
We are happy to announce the top three projects (in no particular order):
GA Number: 310229
Coordinator: Prof.Stergios Logothetidis
GA Number: 604311
Coordinator: Prof. Andreas Schuetze
GA Number: 322459
Coordinator: Dr. David Gomez
The best project will be announced during the conference reception on the 22nd June 2017 (please refer to schedule for more details).
The field of polymer science continues year after year to steadily advance fueled both by academic enthusiasm and by industrial pragmatism. The numerous environmental and economic benefits of polymers make these materials popular for manufacturers, fabricators and consumers within a wide range of different industrial sectors.
The Danube Vltava Sava Polymer Meeting (DVSPM) aims to bring together the brightest minds from both academia and industry to collectively present and discuss the fundamental issues within this still burgeoning field. The meeting consists of seminars from international leaders of polymer science with topics addressing critical issues such as synthesis, analytical methods, modelling, structure-property relations, polymer processing, as well as applications.
The DVSPM Meeting has its origin in the Austrian Polymer Days that are held bianually since the beginning of the 90s. The first DVSPM meeting was held in Gmunden, in 2015. This 3 river conference (Danube, Vltava, Sava) builds also on the tradition of the “Austrian Slovenian Polymer Meeting”, and the “Advances in Polymer Science & Technology” bringing together the polymer communities of the central European region. Looking to continue a tradition of excellence set by the previous meetings, the Vienna University of Technology will host the second Symposium to be held September 5-8, 2017.
It is the intention of the organizers to provide ample time for discussion to emphasize the workshop character and stimulate the exchange of new ideas. The program will contain numerous invited talks given by respectable scientists working in the field of polymer science. In addition, other contributed papers with 15 minutes allotted for presentations as well as posters may be submitted.
In 2017, DVSPM is also hosting the International H. F. Mark Symposium 2017, held on Thursday 7th at the conference venue.
The Press Conference for Smartonics Project closing took place on Monday 16 Jan 2017 at Porto Palace Conference Centre and Hotel, Thessaloniki - Greece. During the press conference, the project's achievements were announced to public and media, while 6 Greek project partners (from research, academia and industry) commented on the project's results and future perspectives.

The Eurofillers Conference is one of the most important traditional meetings in Europe. It was established in 1995 and, since then, it is organized every two years in a different city of Europe. It aims at bringing together researchers from academia, research organizations and industry in the very important area of filled systems and polymer mixtures. Since 2015, Eurofillers has merged with the Polymer Blends Conference, thus, combining the two topics. It is anticipated that this will lead to a better coordination between the two communities, which will result in more opportunities for collaborative advances to both fields. The Conference will bring together scientists working on polymer blends, interfaces and interphases, polymer composites and nanocomposites, nanostructured polymers, functional materials, bio-based polymers and biocomposites, modern applications of polymers, etc. The scientific program will feature plenary/keynote lectures, invited talks, and oral and poster presentations. The Eurofillers - Polymer Blends 2017 Conference will be held at Hersonissos, Heraklion Crete, Greece during April 23-27, 2017.
The Smart Coatings Symposium is an annual international event that brings together scientists and business leaders from across the globe for three days in Orlando, FL, to share and discuss the latest developments and trends in cutting-edge technologies pertaining to 'smart' materials and coatings. Ever since its inception in 2005, Smart Coatings Symposium attracts an average of 180 participants from all over the world. The finest quality talks by speakers drawn from the top-notch institutions and industries makes this symposium truly outstanding. Smart Coatings 2017 will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA from 22-24 February, 2017.
The 6th EUROPEAN PEFC & ELECTROLYSER FORUM 2017 will be held in Lucerne, Switzerland during 4 – 7 July 2017 and will be a highlight of the year for those involved with HYDROGEN-, DIRECT ALCOHOL- and MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS as well as ELECTROLYSERS and linked HYDROGEN PROCESSING & PURIFICATION & STORAGE. The Focus lies on science & engineering, materials & manufacturing, components & systems, design, testing & integration, applications, operation & combinations, and markets issues. The forum is exchange platform and bridge from Materials & Components to Applications. It provides a comprehensive State-of-the-Art, access to practical Inventions and new competitive Solutions. Therefore it brings together academia, industry (component manufacturers, OEMs, suppliers,...), decision makers and investors. In this major field of hydrogen fuel cells the forum evolved into the leading European meeting place.
