Invitation

Dear Colleagues,

on behalf of the organizing committee we have the pleasure to invite you to participate in the 4th Polish-Taiwanese Conference:

From Molecular Modeling to Nano-and Biotechnology”.

The Conference will be held in Opole, Poland from August 29th to 31st, 2018 at the Villa-Park Opole-Groszowice.

The aim of our interdisciplinary meeting is to bring together specialists of molecular modeling and related fields of research working at the border of nanotechnology and biotechnology. Topics will cover all areas of basic and applied sciences.
The programme of the Conference will comprise full lectures (30 or 45 min.), oral communications (15 min.) and poster presentations. The official language of the Symposium is English.

We wish to encourage young scientists to attend the Conference and to present their own research on the special Young Scientists Session. The best contributions will be awarded. We consider active participation of young scientists to be the meeting’s greatest asset.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU IN OPOLE!
