Today, the Miramar Palace in San Sebastian hosted Polymat Day 2025, a remarkable event filled with groundbreaking research and inspiring discussions.

From advances in sustainable battery materials to breakthroughs in machine-learning-driven polymer design and industrial challenges, the day was packed with ideas shaping the future of polymer science. A huge thank you to all our speakers for their exceptional contributions:

Rebeca Marcilla (IMDEA) - Redox Polymers for Sustainable Batteries
Josué D Mota Morales (UNAM) - Eutectogels: from Sensors to Energy Generation
Nicholas Ballard (POLYMAT) - Machine Learning to Design Better Polymers
Bernd Reck (BASF) - Polymer Dispersions for Decorative Coatings

We also hosted Alex Txikon, who delivered a powerful and motivating talk on “The Power of Teamwork at Great Heights.” His perspective on resilience and collaboration brought an inspiring dimension to the day. To close the event, the Scientific Director David Mecerreyes shared thoughtful final remarks on POLYMAT’s vision.
