About ANNUM XIII
What is ANNUM?
ANNUM (Asian Network for Natural and Unnatural Materials) is a distinctive series of conferences created to unite researchers from the Asia-Pacific region for discussions on emerging topics in the multidisciplinary field of materials chemistry. It aims to provide a venue for presenting results and engaging in discussions, while also encouraging young students to explore scientific research.
Furthermore, speakers will showcase current trends within their specific sub-disciplines to inspire the younger generation and propose practical solutions to various societal challenges. In essence, this conference will also focus on the translational aspects of materials chemistry with potential real-world applications.
