Dear Clarkson Community,
A materials-focused 1.5-day symposium will be held at Clarkson University on October 1st and 2nd, 2022. The organizers, Profs. Mario Wriedt and Devon Shipp announce that the symposium will bring together leaders in the field of functional materials chemistry (e.g., MOFs, COFs, POPs, polymers, etc.) including 18 invited speakers, 3 keynotes and 1 plenary speaker, along with student and postdoc posters.
This event is sponsored by the Northern New York American Chemical Society (NNY ACS) Local Section, Clarkson’s Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP) and Clarkson’s School of Arts and Sciences.
Clarkson’s faculty, postdocs and undergraduate/graduate students are cordially invited to attend. The organizers are pleased to announce that the registration fees for Northern NY Section Students (Clarkson, SLU, SUNY Potsdam, Plattsburgh, Canton) will be waived. Students and postdocs are encouraged to present posters.
Please follow this link for registration and submission of poster abstracts.
Do you have colleagues and friends from northeastern colleges who might be interested to attend? Then the organizers would be very appreciative if you would forward this announcement accordingly to assist in spreading the word about this symposium and attracting a comprehensive body of attendees.
Attached is a long version of the symposium announcement and since some may not have time to read through to the end, here is a short version broken down into a few bullet points:
- 1.5-day materials symposium at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY, October 1-2, 2022.
- The motto of the symposium is “Advanced Functional Materials for Emerging Science and Technology” which centers around functional (i) nanoporous materials (e.g., MOFs/COFs) and (ii) polymer materials (e.g., novel syntheses, upcycling, smart polymers) as the primary focus.
- The symposium kicks off with welcome remarks at 8:20 am on Saturday (Oct 1) and concludes with the last session ending at 12:20 pm, followed by lunch, on Sunday (Oct 2). You would have ample of time to travel to Rochester, NY, (~3.5 h by car) if you intend to attend the ACS Northeast Regional Meeting (NERM) afterwards with their technical sessions starting on Oct 3.
- 18 invited talks, 3 keynotes and 1 plenary lecture; student and postdoc posters including two talks selected from submitted abstracts.
- No parallel sessions – one room, one session, one great networking experience.
- Among others, Omar Farha (Northwestern University) is confirmed as our plenary speaker, along with Tomislav Friščić (McGill University), Silvana Andreescu (Clarkson University), and Christopher Ober (Cornell University) as keynote speakers.
- The cost of registration is $100 for faculty and $50 for students/postdocs (dinner and lunches included).

- The registration deadline is September 10, 2022. No on-site registration possible. Please reach out to us if you consider registering but cannot meet this deadline in the event of unusual circumstances. We might be able to accommodate you.
- We have hotel rooms blocked at two local hotels. Detailed information about accommodation is posted on our web site.
Please reach out to the Organization Team if any further information is needed.
