The European Polymer Federation decided from 2003 onwards to organize, each two years, a series of Summer Schools on topics related to the front leading areas of macromolecular science and technology, keeping together a high scientific level as well as the relevance for industrial application.
These Schools took place till 2017 in Gargnano (BS) on Lake Garda at the Palazzo Feltrinelli. In 2019 the 9th EPF Summer School took place in Bertinoro (FC), Italy. This year, due to the Covid-19 Emergency world wide spread, the 10th EPF Summer School on Polymers and Circular Economy, will be held as a Digital Event from 17th to 19th May 2021.

The titles of last EPF Summer Schools were:

• 2013: Polymers & Energy: Polymers for Future Energy Challenges
• 2015: Polymers at Interfaces and Surfaces
• 2017: Transport Phenomena in Polymers and Hybrid Materials
• 2019: Dynamic and Reversible Polymer Networks
