Following the success of the PSA Manchester meeting in 2023, we are excited to host PSA Conference 2026 in Mainz, on August 10-12th. The conference will take place on the premises of Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research.

​

This International meeting brings together all supramolecular researchers and scientists from related fields for 3 days. The meeting will allow us to share and discuss cutting-edge research and recent developments in areas ranging from supramolecular polymers, supramolecular machinery and dynamic systems, life-like assemblies, and biomimetic materials.

 

We are looking forward to your participation in this exciting scientific program, and particularly participation from young scientists who can apply for a limited number of slots for oral presentations.

​

On this website, we keep you up to date with additional speakers, program changes, and helpful information about the conference.

Tanja Weil, Pol Besenius, Shikha Dhiman, Gal Yosefi-Cullari, and Lucas Cullari

PROGRAM

Just like the intricate, highly ordered structures we will be exploring in Mainz, a truly exceptional conference program takes a bit of time to perfectly self-assemble. We are currently putting the finishing touches on a lineup that promises to be as dynamic as the science itself. Truly groundbreaking things can't be rushed, but we promise it will be well worth the wait. Stay tuned, the final schedule is coming soon!
