Welcome to the High Polymer research Group (HPRG). We exist in order to promote polymer science through the organisation of annual conferences, currently at Pott Shrigley in the Peak District, a picturesque part of Northern England. The HPRG is a non-profit-making charitable organisation that has organised the series of high-level conferences extending over forty years, many of which were held at Moretonhampstead, a name synonymous with the group.
The conference attracts active participation from academia and industry, from the UK and abroad, with a diverse representation across the full range of age and experience. We encourage full and frank exchange of ideas and leave room in the programme for this, and no records or proceedings are made.
The location is chosen to allow colleagues to take advantage of a range of leisure and sporting activities, and despite the informal nature of the meetings, important traditions are still upheld.
Prof. Anthony J Ryan OBE
