9^th Edition of the Milan Polymer Days International Congress

Join us in Milan this summer for the annual event on cutting-edge innovation in polymer science and technology!

Welcome to MIPOL2025

Welcome to the homepage of the 9^th Milan Polymer Days International Congress - MIPOL2025 - held from 18^th to 20^th June 2025 at the Auditorium of the University of Milan. As in previous congress editions, for a few days, the Milan Polymer Days Congress will bring together internationally renowned scientists from the most diverse backgrounds, both academic and industrial, and create a forum that allows them to communicate scientific innovation in all sectors of polymer science and technology.

Scientific highlights

Every congress day will begin with a keynote lecture in which world-renowned experts in their respective fields feature cutting-edge research. Keynotes will be followed by state-of-the-art lectures given by distinguished scientists, most upon invitation, on selected topics. In this congress edition, we are receiving interesting abstracts dealing with bioactive polymers, polymeric nanocomposites, conducting polymers, biorefinery, sustainable polymers, polymeric flame retardants, polymer processing, mechanical and thermal characterization of polymers, synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures, eco-compatibility of polymers.

2^nd edition of the MIPOL YOUNG symposium

After the success of the previous edition, we are thrilled to propose the MIPOL YOUNG symposium again. On the 2^nd congress day - June 19^th -, a large room will be given to our younger colleagues. A well-rounded program has been designed to accommodate the participation of Young Scientists who are just beginning their careers. Two full sessions dedicated to short oral communications by Young Scientists will give them a unique opportunity to interact with an international audience. The best oral communication by Young Scientists will be awarded a special prize.

Poster communications

The poster sessions will take place during lunchtime on the 1^st and 2^nd congress days - June 18^th and 19^th. Young Scientists are eligible to participate in the Best Poster Award competition dedicated to them. We encourage our young collaborators not to miss this opportunity.

Awards and prizes for Young Scientists

To enhance the activity of our younger colleagues and boost their careers, we have organized a rich program of recognition and prizes dedicated to them, including:

• The Best Poster Award competition is open to Young Scientists who submit their application.
• The Best Oral Presentation Award is dedicated to participants of the MIPOL Young symposium.
• The winner of the 3^rd edition of the Mario Malinconico Prize for the best master's degree thesis in polymer science will be celebrated.
• The winners of these three awards will be announced and celebrated after the end of the oral sessions.
