After four years, the task of organizing the Slovak-Czech conference Polymers 2024 fell to the Slovak partner from the Polymer Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Considering the increased participation of foreign polymer chemists and physicists at the previous event organized by Czech partners from the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, we decided to organize the conference in an international format. We chose the Academia Hotel in Stará Lesná as the venue for the 13th edition of the Polymers 2024 conference, where the beginning of autumn creates a beautiful Tatra atmosphere. The goal of this conference has always been not only to present the latest scientific results and outputs of the participants but also to create new scientific contacts and deepen cooperation between the Polymer Institute SAS and the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry CAS. In addition to the broad focus of the conference’s topics covering basic and applied research carried out by experimental or theoretical approaches, there is also space for the presentation of products by colleagues from the commercial sphere. On behalf of the organizing committee of the Polymers 2024 conference, I would like to invite you to this conference. We believe that the tradition of this conference, as well as the environment in which it will take place, will attract scientists of all age categories including PhD students.
On behalf of the organizing committee Dr. Zuzana Benková

Accommodation
Congress Centre of SAS ACADEMIA
The Academia Congress Center (CC) is situated at the foot of the Lomnický Štít massif in the eastern part of the High Tatras. It is located on the border of the Tatra National Park, in quiet surroundings a short way off the towns Tatranská Lomnica and Starý Smokovec. The favorable location is underlined not only by the short distance (15 km) from the airport and the main traffic routes in Poprad but also by the proximity of the architectonic jewels of Spiš region – Levoča, Kežmarok or Stará Ľubovňa. The capacity of the hotel is for ~ 90 participants.
