The objective of the Belgian Polymer Group (BPG) is to promote contacts between key-players in the field of polymer science, both from industry and academia. Moreover, this 2012 Annual Meeting is an excellent opportunity for students to present their work in polymer science.

Topic of the 2012 edition will be "Polymers for a Sustainable Society". One of the key challenges in our modern society is the development of a sustainable economy.  In this context, polymers - preferentially based on renewable resources - will play a dominating role in bulk applications as well as in high-tech products such as for the storage and harvesting of energy.  This conference will focus on recent innovative approaches in polymer synthesis, design, characterization and processing towards sustainable polymer based products with desirable properties.
