Functional interfaces embody fundamental and applied aspects of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Materials Science to understand their mechanisms and improve their design and performance. Material interfaces play a crucial role in diverse phenomena such as adhesion, bio-recognition, separation and catalysis. A control over the interfacial material properties requires the implementation of innovations spanning multiple disciplines such as sensing and recognition, electrocatalysis, polymer science, material separation and filtration, nano-scale manufacturing, among others.

Venue

Linz is the capital of Upper Austria and was the cultural capital of Europe in 2009. Linz is located at the river Danube about 200 km west of Vienna. It can easily be reached by plane, train (ÖBB and Westbahn) or car, or even by ship. Direct flights are available from Düsseldorf and Palma de Mallorca. Trains connect to Vienna (Airport), Salzburg, Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg. The conference will take place on the campus of the Johannes Kepler University.

Practical Information 

Once your registration is fully settled, you will be given a badge that you should wear at all times. Your registration fee will grant you access to the conference lunches, coffee breaks and dinner.

The certificate of attendance will be sent to registered participants by email upon request after the conference.
