Poster for 11th interantional symposium of photochromism hosted by Ben Feringa and colleagues in Groningen in July. There is a picture of the quite large model of a nanocar in front of the academic building in Groningen and text stating call for abstracts deadline extended.

Almost Final call for oral abstracts for ISOP 2026!
Join us in Groningen on 6–9 July for four days of exciting photochromism, discussion and networking.
🌐 isop2026.eu

🗓 Oral abstracts will continue to be considered until 15 April
