General
At the heart of the POLY School are 18 innovative research projects in polymer science. Each project is developed by a doctoral researcher and supported by one or two Principal Investigators (PIs).
Bringing together seven departments from three institutes, the POLY School creates a dynamic interdisciplinary platform that unites (food) chemistry, physics, and pharmaceutical sciences.
