After the success of the MOF symposia in 2016 and 2017, we are organising a two day stand-alone symposium in 2018 to bring together the UK research community working on metal-organic frameworks and open framework compounds. The conference will cover all aspects of this diverse field, including materials design and synthesis, applications, processing and simulation and we have six confirmed keynote speakers across these areas. While the conference is open to all, we strongly encourage early stage researchers and PhD students to submit abstracts.
