The International Conference on Frontiers of Polymers and Advanced Materials (ICFPAM-2024) is a multidisciplinary global forum on materials science and applications. It will take place in Berhampur, Odisha, India, from November 9-13, 2024. The venue of the conference is Berhampur University and hosted by IISER Berhampur. This year's conference will feature 2 Nobel Laureates, 11 plenary speakers, 23 keynote speakers, 48 invited speakers, 19 oral talks and over 120 poster presentations. Highlights include tutorial sessions on polymers and advanced materials, as well as an interactive forum on AI applications in education and industry, both scheduled for November 9, 2024, to benefit young researchers. Additionally, there will be a session dedicated to international funding opportunities.
Inaugurated first in India in 1991, this meeting is a sequel of preceding, very successful series of international meetings organized in different locations around the world, such as Penang (Malaysia, 2019), Daejon (South Korea, 2016), Marrakesh (Morocco, 2015), Auckland (New Zealand, 2013), Pretoria (South Africa, 2011), Santiago de Chile (Chile, 2009), Krakow (Poland, 2007), Cancun (Mexico, 2005), Bucharest (Romania, 2003), Pernambuco (Brazil, 2001), Poznan (Poland, 1999), Cairo (Egypt, 1997), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, 1995), Jakarta (Indonesia, 1993) and in New Delhi (India, 1991). This meeting is returning to India after 33 years.
Over the years, the ICFPAM 2024 series has facilitated the collaboration of scientists, engineers, and industrial leaders and encouraged discussions on multidisciplinary aspects of macromolecular and materials science, leading to the exchange of scientific knowledge and the establishment of new collaborations. This year's conference encourages a free discussion of the most recent results of ongoing research work in functional materials and devices.
