KOPO 2026

CONJUGATED OLIGOMERS AND POLYMERS - Planar and Non-Planar Pi-Systems

13th Workshop

May 10-13, 2026, Physikzentrum Bad Honnef (http://www.dpg-physik.de/dpg/pbh/index.html)

As in the past, KOPO 2026 will provide an overview on new developments in the area of p-conjugated oligomers and polymers and functional dyes and will strengthen the cooperation within the scientific community. KOPO 2026 is a platform for exchanging know-how and new ideas between experienced and young colleagues. Therefore, we encourage participation of young academics and students. The topics will cover all kinds of synthetic and physical aspects of p- conjugated molecules and polymers.

Rudolf-Gompper-Memorial-Lecture: Prof. Dr. Ullrich Scherf
Plenary Lectures: Prof. Dr. Milan Kivala, Prof. Dr. Marcel Mayor, Prof. Dr. Agniezka Nowak-Król

The number of participants is limited to 100. The total fee includes registration, accommodaion, full board and social program and is 600 € (single room); reduced price for the students is 490 € (double room).
