Call for Applications | Plastic Pollution and Bioplastic Materials 2021 | International PhD Academy
 
 
   
  VIU PhD Academy | Plastic Pollution and Bioplastic Materials | April 26-30, 2021  
 

Application deadline: January 20, 2021   

 

The production of new plastic products since the Second World War revolutionized in a positive way all fields of human activities: medicine, aerospace, transport, health, and everyday life. However, single-use plastics account for 40 percent of the plastic produced every year. Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste escapes into the oceans from coastal nations. Plastic materials can have serious downsides for the environment and health.
The goal of this PhD Academy is to facilitate learning, discussion, and the exchange of ideas to address the challenging issues in Plastic Pollution and how science is working to solve this problem.

 

Suitable for: PhD students, post-docs, and young researchers in Natural sciences & Technology, or any other discipline related to Material Science.
