APME 2023 was a blast! What made it even better was the fact that our PhD student Maria-Nefeli won the award for the best oral presentation!
Big thanks to organizers & Polymer Chemistry RSC Applied journals Materials Horizons for sponsoring the award and we hope to see everyone again at Catania!🇮🇹

Congratulations Maria-Nefeli!

Did you know that copper together with a bit of oxygen can make a super ATRP catalyst?
