The Society for Polymer Science, India (SPSI), organizes MACRO conferences every two years in different parts of India. This is the biggest Polymer Symposium in India. We have a vibrant Kolkata Chapter in SPSI and this time we would like to arrange the Chapter meeting at IISER Kolkata. Specific focus of this meeting will be advances in general polymer science. The Symposium aims to provide a common platform for the exchange of knowledge among eminent scientists and young researchers from India and abroad, working in the area of polymer science.
