For the first time, PBSi welcomes a pioneer’s speaker who will present his revolutionary work in many areas from the Phosphorus, Boron and Silicium chemistry.
12 high profile speakers are invited to give plenary speeches at the International Conference On Phosphorus, Boron and Silicium.
Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations; the scientific committee will make the final selection of presentations from among the submitted abstracts.
Limited to 250 attendees: several areas are dedicated to PBSi 2023 including an auditorium, breakout rooms, and a friendly exhibition space.
2 afterworks will be additional opportunities for you to network and enjoy your stay in Berlin!
