The 12th Hellenic Polymer Society International Conference (POLYCONF12) will be held at the University of Ioannina, Ioannina, Greece, during September 30-October 3, 2018. The Hellenic Polymer Society is a scientific society rapidly growing and a significant number of participants from Academia, Research Institutes and Industry are expected. This will be the second time this conference will be held in Ioannina.

This Conference series, which started in 1987, is a biannual event hosted in different cities in Greece and always features plenary lectures, invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations.

The scientific program will cover all the polymer science and engineering topics related to specific thematic areas such as: Recent Developments in Polymer Synthesis and Characterization Methods, Polymer Physics, Polymer Engineering, Biopolymers & Applications, Polymers for Emerging Technologies (Energy, Organic Electronics, Environment, Nanotechnology), Advances in Polymer Theory and Simulations and Polymers in Industry.

Furthermore, a special session during the conference will be held honouring the memory of the late Professor Marios Kosmas involving plenary lectures and invited talks from esteemed colleagues. Professor Kosmas was a full Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Ioannina and his contribution in polymer science and engineering through his emerging research was and is very highly appreciated by the Polymer scientific community.
