The 2026 edition of the Annual Meeting of the Belgian Polymer Group will provide a platform to discuss all current topics in polymer science, and engaging both industrial and academic perspectives. The event will also be an opportunity for young Belgian scientists specializing in polymers to present their work through oral communications and posters. The programme will be enriched by invited lectures.

At a broader level, the aim of the Belgian Polymer Group (BPG) is to encourage links between the key players in the field of polymer science, both in industry and academia. The BPG also seeks to monitor current research directions being pursued at various universities and industrial R&D laboratories in Belgium, while encouraging the initiation of new collaborative research projects.
