September 2021: EuroMOF2021 conference

The 4th European Conference on Metal-Organic Frameworks and Porous Polymers (EuroMOF2021), organized by our group, was held virtually from 13th to 15th September 2021. The EuroMOF conferences are prestigious, cyclical events where scientists from around the world meet to present and discuss their latest discoveries about MOF materials and related compounds. The previous conferences were held in Potsdam (2015), Delft (2017) and Paris (2019), and Kraków was to be the next meeting place. However, the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic resulted in EuroMOF2021 being organized remotely, using an online platform enabling live presentations, virtual meetings and chats. 333 delegates from 41 countries attended the main event and the satellite one-day symposium for young researchers. A total of 2,580 minutes of presentations and discussions were streamed on the platform, which were additionally available as recordings after the conference.
