The conference will feature five symposia: Advanced Methods in Synthesis and Processing of Materials, Advanced Materials for High-Technology Application, Nanostructured Materials, Eco-materials and Eco-technologies, and Biomaterials.
Invited plenary lectures along with oral and poster presentations are planned and awards will be given to researchers (preferably young members under the age of 35) of the best oral and poster presentation. Authors of highly rated PhD theses defended between two conferences will also be awarded. The benefits include free registration at the next YUCOMAT Conference. The official conference language is English.
The abstract deadline is May 1, 2013. The conference program will be sent to registered participants by mid-July 2013.
An exhibition of synthesis and characterization equipment and tutorials on especially interesting topics for young researchers are planned to be held during the conference. The venue will also include the traditional Cocktail Party on Monday evening and excursions on Wednesday (Dubrovnik, Croatia) and Thursday (Boka Kotorska Bay) afternoons.
