HOME Topics Committees Programme Registration Locations Venue&Accomodation

CONFERENCE TOPICS

The 6^th MatER meeting will be held on 5^th – 7^th of June 2023, together with the 7^th International Conference on Final Sinks. Due to the common interest in the field of the circular economy, in the reusing, recovering, and recycling of waste materials and many other themes, the 2 conferences will merge and the event is going to take place online.

There will be a single call for abstracts for the 2 events. Both scientific & technical contributions are extremely appreciated, with a shorter abstract required to works from an industrial perspective or involving existing plants and technologies.
