Participate in BEPS 2012
Mark your calendar now for the 2012 BioEnvironmental Polymer Society (BEPS) Annual Meeting, September 18th-21st in Denton, Texas, USA. This year's meeting promises to boost your knowledge of the current state-of-the-art research in synthetic, renewable and natural degradable polymers and (nano)composites. Leading researchers from government agencies, academia and industry will present plenary, keynote and invited talks. The meeting will provide opportunities for knowledge exchange and interaction through oral and poster presentations as well as our attractive social program.
We typically attract between 150-200 scientists and engineers from academia, research institutes and industry, as well as business leaders from around the world and from every field concerning renewable and degradable materials attend. BEPS 2011 in Vienna was a fantastic success. We look forward to welcoming you to Denton, Texas.
