CRC 1411 International Symposium

An interdisciplinary event highlighting advances in functional nanoparticle synthesis, particle chromatography, and the numerical and characterization tools which support these

To coincide with the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center 1411 entering its fourth year, we are holding a 2-day International Symposium from 20-21 March 2023. The event will bring together researchers from around the world to showcase the latest progress in the targeted design of particulate products supported by rigorous optimization of structure-property and process-structure functions. Based around our four research areas, the symposium will feature keynote talks by leading experts and rising stars in the field in addition to talks by CRC 1411 researchers. The programme will also include a poster session, providing attendees with the opportunity to network and engage with cutting edge results from one of the hottest areas of particulate science and technology.
Don’t miss out – register today!

Information

  • Date/Time: Monday 20 March (symposium starts at 08:30 CET) and Tuesday 21 March 2023 (symposium ends at approx. 17:00 CET)
  • Location: FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, South Campus
  • Hybrid event: All speakers will be present in Erlangen. To promote scientific discussions in the breaks and poster sessions attendees are strongly encouraged to participate in person. Those unable to travel to Erlangen will be provided with a link where they can follow the proceedings via zoom
  • Participation fee: Attendance of the symposium is free of charge and includes coffee breaks, lunch on both days and a light buffet dinner during he poster session
  • Posters: In-person attendees may present a poster at the Monday evening session as long as they submit their registration, along with a title and abstract by 5 March 2023. Due to space requirements the organizers reserve the right to reject posters which do not have a strong connection to the main topics of CRC 1411.
