The event aims to allow participants to find new solutions to tackle the global Net Zero challenges using the knowledge of wetting, new technologies in functional surfaces/coatings, and advanced materials. It promotes discussions on topics such as wetting (both in experimental and theoretical research), bio-inspired functional materials, energy conversion and conservation, and carbon neutralization technologies.
