The SILESIAN MEETINGS ON POLYMER MATERIALS POLYMAT2025 conference is a continuation of the meetings of the International Polymer Seminar in Gliwice GSP, organized cyclically since 1995, then the conference in Opole under the name Polimery nad Odrą POLYOR2011, and since 2014 the international conference SILESIAN MEETINGS ON POLYMER MATERIALS POLYMAT.

The planned POLYMAT2025 conference is financed by the NAWA Welcome to Poland project funded by the National Agency for Academic Exchange No. BNP/WTP/2023/1/00015.

The aim of the conference is to exchange current knowledge and create opportunities to exchange experiences in the field of polymerchemistry, closely related to the synthesis, characterization, modification and application of polymers. The conference will be an excellentopportunity to integrate the scientific community of universities and institutes, students, experts and engineers active in the field of precisely constructed polymers for new applications.

As traditional for GSP and POLYMAT meetings, there will be also the possibility to present the research results as the posters within threeposter sessions:

Researchers working in all areas relevant to the subject of the meeting are invited to submit abstracts of the posters.

Exhibitors and sponsors are encouraged to participate by reserving booth space, and becoming a sponsor.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Zabrze.
