The UML & AMU present a unique platform to discuss scientific research among
international communities. Anticipated discussions include how to share resources,
expertise, and innovative approaches in:
- Nanotechnology
- Biology & Medicine
- Chemistry & Physics
- Environmental Science
- Smart Sensors
- Energy
The UML & AMU Conference aims to facilitate American-Polish research collaborations
and will serve to celebrate the scientific accomplishments of our researchers through
presentations of cutting edge scientific and technological achievements. We will pay
particular attention to the identification of unique approaches, insights, and resources
from nanostructures to macro and global scale.
