Conference 2024

Welcome to the third annual HiFunMat conference.

This year, the conference will take place in Strasbourg, at the Ecole Européen d'ingénieurs de chimie, polymères et matériaux (ECPM) on the campus of Cronenbourg. 

The program will offer you a full and varied day of high-quality presentations from external speakers and HiFunMat members, a poster session, and plenty of time to meet other members, (re)discover each other research themes, so that new collaborations and innovative ideas can emerge.

 ECPM, Campus Cronenbourg, Strasbourg

 18 April 2024

All HiFunMat research projects aim to push forward the development of the next generation of materials: from the synthesis of building blocks, their assembly in two and three-dimensional structures, studying and tuning of the properties of the materials, their interaction with light, and the mimicking of natural materials.

Such research projects have a strong interdisciplinary character. For example, the design, development, and characterization of new materials usually cross different research fields. 

The talks and presentations of this conference will thus cover all the research axes of HiFunMat :

• Axis I:   Design and synthesis of elementary molecular building blocks
• Axis II:  Development of finely controlled surfaces to obtain adaptable and reversible properties
• Axis III: Development of hierarchically structured materials, with fine control at different scales
• Axis IV: Development of new strategies for shaping, modifying and characterizing materials by various types of radiation
• Axis V:  Design of new biomimetic, biodegradable, active, self-healing, responsive, life-like materials

For this years conference, we have invited new members from research teams joining the ITI for the second term, to present their teams and their work.

The program has been completed by your contributions.

In addition to invited external and internal speakers, oral and poster presentations will be possible.
