Started in 2006, Molecular Frontiers operates as a non-profit organization, hosted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Its Scientific Advisory Board, a group of eminent scientists including many Nobel Prize laureates, represent expertise from a wide range of molecular science disciplines
Date: November 4, 2014
For the first time, a Molecular Frontiers Symposium took place at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, which is where the Molecular Frontiers headquarters is located.
The symposium was held in conjunction with the annual Materials Science conference at Chalmers, Materials for Tomorrow, which this year dealt with the topics "Materials for Energy Applications" and "Sports Technology".
