Dear Madam, dear Sir, dear Colleague,

EPNOE, the Cellulose and Renewable Materials Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS), and the Cellulose Society of Japan (CSJ) are organizing the 6th EPNOE International Polysaccharide Conference (https://epnoe2019.sciencesconf.org/ ) that will take place from 21st– 25th of October 2019 in Aveiro, Portugal.

The ambition of the EPNOE International Polysaccharides Conferences is to bring together researchers from academia and industry working or interested in polysaccharides related R&D topics, to disseminate results and to promote a networking platform for close interactions between academia and industry.

Thematic Sessions covering different areas where polysaccharides have a relevant role, co-organized by scientific experts in each field, will take place.

We hope that it will be an enjoyable event that will provide an opportunity for delegates to discuss and share knowledge, ideas and expertise with colleagues and peers.
