Excellent Scientific Program

Joint initiative of ZELLCHEMING with its technical committees and Technical University of Darmstadt

The aim of this international conference is to bring together researchers from science and industry who are interested in R&D topics related to polysaccharides, paper-based materials and bioeconomy. Essentially it is our intention that chemical, physical, and engineering experts disseminate and discuss their findings, while also creating a completely new platform for close interaction of academia and industry.

We are pleased to be able to offer an excellent scientific program structured in thematic sessions which progress from polysaccharide chemistry, to paper chemistry, and paper physics & engineering. In addition to invited lectures, the opportunity to submit poster presentations is offered.
