Sponsors Exhibitors Located in the heart of one of the world’s most highly prized regions at the gateway to major European cities, Nice offers its rich history, wonderfully mild sunny climate and geographic location between the sea and the mountains. A symbol of the Mediterranean art of living, it offers a perpetual invitation to travel. Its vicinity, too, provides ample opportunity for architectural and cultural discoveries, from pleasant strolls in museums to old palatial homes, from beaches to gardens and gastronomic adventures with countless flavours.

The conference is endorsed by Materials Research Society (MRS), the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Bioinspired and Biobased Chemistry & Materials is an emerging field covering materials science, chemistry, physics and biology. It arises from the knowledge of synthesis, directed self-assembly and hierarchical organization of natural materials, and takes advantage of this understanding to engineer new artificial materials and devices for many applications ranging from medical, industrial, military to energy sectors. The aim of the conference is to create a cohesive community of scientists, engineers and managers from different backgrounds in order to promote new ideas, share innovation and research in the emerging field of Bioinspired and Biobased Chemistry & Materials.
