Through their importance for markets ranging from construction to personal accessories to medicine, they are critical for industry as well, whether in a role of materials consumer, producer, or both. I will talk about my own group\u2019s e\ufb00orts in responsive materials innovation, taking on challenges spanning from fundamental physics and chemistry to the multidisciplinary considerations required to translate research into a product and scaling up production in a sustainable and commercially viable way. I will do so in the broader historical context of how numerous scientific discoveries have made revolutionary technologies possible, generally made out of pure curiosity decades before the context of the application even existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the scientific session, we invite you to engage in a networking cocktail in the Main Hall of the B\u00e2timent des Sciences. This gathering will be a fantastic opportunity to connect with both the speaker and other colleagues active in material sciences, fostering collaboration and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us on Tuesday&nbsp;<strong>24th of June 2025<\/strong>&nbsp;at the University of Luxembourg, in B\u00e2timent des Sciences (Limpertsberg Campus) room BSC003, at 18:30PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure smooth organization, please register&nbsp;<strong><u>by June 20th at the latest&nbsp; on the following link <\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/conference-lagerwall.eventsquare.store\/eexxfqyknkfe\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Registration link<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ludger Wirtz<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":103,"featured_media":39699,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2025-06-24 18:30:00","event_end_date":"2025-06-24 19:30:00","event_speaker_name":"Prof. Jan Lagerwall ","event_speaker_link":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/people\/jan-lagerwall\/","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Campus Limperstberg, BSC 003 ","event_street":"162a, avenue de la Fa\u00efencerie","event_location_link":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/about\/campuses\/","event_zip_code":"1511","event_city":"Luxembourg","event_country":"Luxembourg "},"events-topic":[315],"events-type":[324,329],"organisation":[80,29],"authorship":[103],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
