This year's Materials for Tomorrow conference will be different. Due to the world-wide pandemy, we have decided to have this event online, via Zoom. You will be able to listen to all the presentations on your computer, wherever you are, and ask questions to the speakers via the chat functionality in the client. The conference is free of charge and open to all. Since there is no need to travel, it is our hope that we will be able to welcome more International participants than usual.
All times are local time in Sweden (CET)
