The Symposium ...
The Symposium will be held on Friday May 10th, 2024 from 9:45 am until 5:00 pm at Palmas del Mar, Humacao, Puerto Rico. The program will include lectures by distinguished invited speakers followed by a research poster session.
This event has been hosted by the University of Pennsylvania Materials Research and Engineering Center and the PENN-UPR Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PENN-UPR PREM) since 2007. The 2024 PREM Symposium is organized in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Training in Data Driven Soft Materials Research and Science Policy (PENN-NRT).
Poster Preparation. Standard poster sizes used in materials-related conferences, i.e. MRS, APS, ACS, etc., will be accepted, although vertical posters of approximatelly 36 in (width) by 48 in (length) are preferred.
