This year, the symposium is organized by the <strong>TalTech Wood Valorisation HUB<\/strong>, bringing a unique emphasis on the role of polymer science in sustainable material development in four major directions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wood based materials<\/li>\n<li>Textile materials<\/li>\n<li>Functional materials<\/li>\n<li>Composite materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Continuing the tradition since its inception in 2001, the Baltic Polymer Symposium serves as a key meeting point for academic researchers, PhD and MSc students, industry professionals, and developers engaged in polymer science and engineering. While maintaining its broad international appeal, BPS 2025 will introduce dedicated sections on <strong>wood valorisation<\/strong>\u2014covering mechanical, chemical, and biochemical valorisation, as well as wood analytics\u2014to highlight the potential of <strong>bio-based materials<\/strong> in a circular economy.<\/p>\n<p>The symposium will feature cutting-edge research in <strong>polymeric materials and composites, conductive polymers, electrochemistry and photochemistry of polymers, organic materials and devices, and polymer recycling and sustainability<\/strong>. It offers a dynamic platform for scientific exchange, networking, and fostering collaborations between academia and industry.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are a honored researcher, an early-career scientist, a developer innovating in polymer technologies, or an industry sponsor seeking collaboration opportunities, we welcome you to join us in Tallinn for three days of insightful discussions and new discoveries at the Baltic Polymer Symposium 2025!<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/woodval.taltech.ee\/bps2025-sponsorship-packages\/\" class=\"button size-medium color-blue\" target=\"Sponsorship\">Sponsorship<\/a>\n<h4>Fee and registration<\/h4>\n<p>Registration is open till 07.09.2025, 23:59<\/p>\n<table width=\"774\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"156\"><strong>Participant type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"276\"><strong>Early bird rate (till 15.07.2025)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"342\"><strong>Regular (till 14.09.2025)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standard<\/td>\n<td>330 EUR<\/td>\n<td>380 EUR<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Student<\/td>\n<td>250 EUR<\/td>\n<td>280 EUR<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Accompanying<\/td>\n<td>180 EUR<\/td>\n<td>180 EUR<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The fee includes Welcome Party, access to all conference sessions, access to book of abstracts, coffee-breaks, lunches, Gala Dinner, and the conference tour.<\/p>\n<p>An abstract is mandatory for all oral speakers and poster presenters.
