About this podcast
The MOFcast
The MOFcast is a podcast series where we hold panel discussions with various guests from the porous materials and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) field—including materials scientists, industry professionals, policymakers, business leaders, and more. Our aim is to promote an interdisciplinary connection between everyone with an interest in MOFs.
In association with the EU4MOFs network
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
