Polymers for the Future

11.03.2025 till 11.03.2025 | MS-Teams / online

What will plastics look like in 5, 10 or 25 years and where will we use them? Will we be able to meet future requirements for climate protection, infrastructure, resources and health and at the same time close cycles? Be inspired by the OST Coffee Lectures and explore perspectives and new solutions together with our esteemed speakers!
