Emily Brogden wins best graduate research seminar talk at IPCG 2023

Emily Brodgen has been awarded “best talk” at the Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) of the International Polymer Colloids Group (IPCG) conference held at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Emily said: “I really enjoyed the GRS preceeding the IPCG2023 meeting. It was great meeting all the participants and hearing their interesting research.”

Emily was given the opportunity to present her work at the main IPCG conference where she talked about hard-soft polymer colloid mixtures for waterborne linerless pressure sensitive adhesives.

Prof. dr. ir. Stefan Bon said: “ I am tremendously proud of Emily and I am delighted that her talents, commitment, and hard work have been recognised and awarded by the world top in our field of polymer colloids. It is a fantastic boost for the entire team at BonLab.”

We would like to thank the Oil & Colour Chemists’ Association (OCCA) for sponsoring Emily’s trip by awarding her a Surfex travel bursary.

Stefan Bon invited by ESC2017 - 16th European Student Colloid Conference

Prof.dr.ir. Stefan Bon has been invited to participate and talk at the European Students Colloid Conference, sponsored by ECIS (European Colloid & Interface Society) that will be held in Florence on June 19 - 22, 2017 (ESC2017).

He said: "I am absolutely delighted with the invitation. I am excited to participate and interact with students from all over Europe and discuss aspects of colloid science. I am very much looking forward to, what promises to be, an outstanding conference."

Prof.dr.ir. Stefan A. F. Bon 

The meeting will be devoted to young physicists/chemists in the field of colloid science, and it will be a great opportunity for PhD students to present their research results and to meet their peers from different research units. 

The topics of the conference range from adsorption and interfacial phenomena, to biomaterials, to micro- and nano-structured materials... and much more. The conference program consists of oral and poster sessions, with many social events. Seven outstanding invited speakers have already confirmed their attendance.

Several prizes will be awarded for the best presentations, including the ECIS/ACIS prize for student exchange.
