Self-assembly in Life and Materials Science
4 november, 2024, 08:00 - 6 november, 2024, 17:00

Welcome to the annual meeting of the Surface and Materials Chemistry Section
Self-assembly in Life and Materials Science
When? 4-6 November 2024
Where? Stadshallen, Lund
Registration is closed.
The theme of this year’s meeting is fundamental and applied questions regarding the properties of self-assembled systems in life and materials sciences. The symposium will be jointly organised by the Surface and Materials Chemistry section of the Swedish Chemical Society and the newly formed, VR-funded COMMONS Centre of Excellence, focused around fundamental self-assembly properties of biomembranes and biomolecules.
