ONLINE CONFERENCE UPDATE
The Fifth International Seminar on Aerogels has been postponed until September 2021 due to the global COVID-19 crisis. But, as they say in Hollywood: the show must go on!

The poster prize will be awarded as usual. Companies are invited to submit video materials about their new aerogel products for an industrial session.
CONFERENCE SCOPE
The aerogel community invites scientists, engineers, students, and industrial partners working with or interested in learning about aerogels to the premiere international conference on the subject.
