MOF2020 Young Investigators Symposium
Aug 19-Sep 18, 2020 - Wed & Fri
Welcome on the website of the MOF2020 Young Investigators Symposium on Metal-Organic Frameworks and Open Framework Compounds
The Young Investigators Symposium aims to bring together early-career researchers from both industry and academia who are eager to present their research for an international audience and to be inspired by recent work on MOFs and related materials.
Following the postponement of MOF2020 until 2022 we have also decided to postpone our physical MOF2020 Young Investigators Symposium until 2022.
We would like, in place of a physical meeting this year, to produce an online symposium series based on the excellent abstracts we received: the MOF2020web Young Investigators Symposium.
The MOF2020web Young Investigators Symposium
The MOF2020web Young Investigators online symposium series aims to foster collaboration with early career scientists in the field and shine the spotlight on their excellent work.
The symposium series will take place this summer between the 19th of August and the 18th of September, combining open academic lecture sessions and fun social events. We hope this may capture some of the magic we have come to expect from this symposium and we hope to see many of you at the MOF2020web Young Investigators Symposium!
