About Us

Australasian Polymer Symposium (APS) The Polymer Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) has a long-standing history of organising the Australasian Polymer Symposium (APS) conferences.

The APS has a long established tradition of bringing together the polymer science and engineering communities of Australasia as well as esteemed polymer colleagues from around the world; from the current world-leaders in polymer research to academics, researchers, research students and industrial professionals from universities, research organisations and the polymer industry globally

The APS also serves as an opportunity for national and international networking through an exciting forum of both formal presentations as well as informal idea exchanges in order to contribute towards the development of frontier polymer research.

Diversity and inclusion commitment

The Australasian Polymer Symposium strongly supports equity and inclusion for all. We embrace diversity and condemn any kind of discrimination, be it on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.

Thank you to our Partners
