Following the great success of the previous edition held in Lisbon- Portugal, Polymers 2027 continues to be a premier international conference in the field of polymer science, bringing together researchers, academics, and industry professionals from around the world. The conference provides a unique platform for exchange of knowledge, collaboration, and exploration of new opportunities in fundamental research, applied technologies, and cutting-edge polymer applications.

This fifth edition will bring together scientists, researchers, engineers, academics and industry professionals to explore advances in polymer science, sustainable materials and innovative polymer technologies. The conference will provide an international platform for sharing research, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and discussing emerging challenges in the development, processing, performance and applications of polymeric materials.

With a focus on sustainable polymer solutions, bio-based materials, circularity and advanced applications, the conference will address both fundamental research and technological innovation. Polymers 2027 aims to strengthen connections between academia and industry and encourage the development of high-performance materials that combine functionality, resource efficiency and environmental responsibility.

The scientific programme will feature plenary lectures, keynote and invited presentations, contributed oral presentations, poster sessions, and workshops and focused sessions, offering opportunities for scientific exchange, discussion and networking. Particular emphasis will be placed on industry participation and academia–industry collaboration, helping bridge the gap between scientific research, technological innovation and industrial applications.

The conference Scientific Sessions are as follow:

  • Sustainable Polymer Chemistry, Synthesis and Molecular Design
  • Biopolymers, Bio-Based Plastics and Renewable Materials
  • Polymer Recycling, Circular Economy and Waste Valorisation
  • Sustainable Polymer Processing, Composites and Advanced Manufacturing
  • Sustainable Polymers for Packaging, Energy, Healthcare and Advanced Applications
  • Biodegradation, Environmental Performance and Life-Cycle Sustainability

Call for Contributions

Researchers, academics, engineers, industry professionals and early-career scientists are invited to submit original contributions aligned with the six scientific sessions. Contributions may address fundamental research, experimental investigations, theoretical studies, computational modelling, technological developments and industrial applications.

The conference welcomes interdisciplinary research that advances polymer science, sustainable materials development, circularity and industrial innovation. Through oral presentations, poster sessions and scientific discussions, Polymers 2027 aims to foster knowledge exchange, strengthen international networks and encourage collaboration between academia and industry.

We warmly invite you to join us in Rome from 12–14 May 2027 to share your research, connect with the international polymer community and contribute to making Polymers 2027 a successful and impactful scientific event.
