T
he conference organised by POLIEFUN on research in the field of surface treatments and coatings will be held on May 18th, 2017 at the Politecnico di Milano.
TST’17 – Trends in Surface Technology Now entering its fourth edition, the conference aims at analysing the international scenario and the state of the art of scientific research in the surface treatment industry, with an interesting programme and the prestigious contributions of prominent personalities of the academic and industrial research worlds. This free event also aims at putting university and research in contact with the industry. The companies themselves will be called to active participation and to a stimulating (a hopefully lively) debate in which they will be able to participate in a direct, effective and constructive way. Several exhibition spaces are available for those companies that would like to be present at the event as sponsors. The stands will be located alongside the hall, in the “networking” area of the event, also dedicated to the registration process,

On the website www.poliefun.org you will find the specifications of the three types of outfitting offered and the services included in each one of them. In the “networking” area, posters will also be displayed with the logos all of the participating companies, printed on special panels. The symposium will also include the Award Ceremony for the “Prize in Memory of Anna Da Forno” for the Best Graduation Thesis in the field of surface treatments and coatings.
