Welcome to Polymers 2012

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to provide you with preliminary details on the 17^th Symposium "Polymers 2012" to be held in the Ribaritsa Resort, nearby the picturesque old town of Teteven, from May 31 - June 2, 2012.

The Symposium "Polymers" has a long tradition and dates back to 1967. It has been the most important national forum for presenting research results in the most relevant topics in Polymer Science. By 1989 more than 70 world-known scientists presented plenary and invited lectures. Our ambition is to restore the tradition of successful meetings with broad international participation that stimulates the exchange of ideas and close cooperation among scientific groups active in the field of polymer science and technology

It is a great opportunity to combine the participation in the symposium with the rejuvenating powers of the Balkan. The scenery of Teteven region is truly unique with a fascinating variety of beautiful flora and fauna. Century-old woods, breathtaking rocks, meadows, waterfalls, caves- all these natural riches of Teteven region offer perfect condition for fishing, skiing, alpine marches and mountainerring.

On behalf of the organizers we would like to invite you to participate in the forthcoming symposium. You will discover more about the symposium on this website, which will be regularly updated with all symposium news.

We look forward to seeing you in Ribaritsa (Teteven) in 2012!
