The 2nd Unilever-RSC International Symposium on Functional Materials Science

Introduction

This Symposium will feature three one day meetings that will take place at three different locations throughout China. Each one day meeting will feature a selection of lectures covering the properties and applications of many different materials given by some of the world's leading international scientists. The symposium is supported by Unilever and organised by Unilever, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the three host universities. 

Attendance at any of the three one day meetings is free although delegates are asked to register. The symposium will appeal to academic and industrial scientists with an interest in functional materials science. Student participation is also strongly encouraged and each symposium will offer students the opportunity to present their work during a poster session.
