About the conference
We warmly welcome researchers of all career stages, from PhD students to world-leading professors to join us at the 6th ERC Grantees Conference on 10-12.06.2025 in Porvoo, Finland this summer.
The research theme of the 6th ERC grantees conference will be “From Responsive Molecules to Interactive Materials”. The theme reflects our strong belief that advanced functional materials are in long term the key towards a sustainable future. While most of the materials used today are static, i.e., their properties are fixed upon the fabrication process, interactive materials are dynamic and able to sense their environment, process the information received, and respond in an autonomous fashion to the signals received. By mimicking features typically associated with living systems, interactive materials can self-heal upon damage, adapt to environmental queues, and exhibit autonomous robotic functions.
