Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are new types of porous materials based on self-Assembly of organic-inorganic (MOFs) and organic-organic (COFs) prearranged synthons. The variety of synthons, as well as synthetic conditions (and/or postsynthetic modifications) can lead to the production of porous materials a la carte with adsorbent and/or catalytic properties that exceed in many aspects to classical porous materials. This field of research is moving very fast evolving from the initial interest on the synthesis and characterization of these systems to the formation of advanced composite materials of MOFs and COFs with different substrates (including graphene, metal surfaces, nanoparticles) leading to exciting properties (Science, 2013, 341, 1230444; Science, 2015, 348, 988; 148; Nature, 2015, 520, 9) of interest to technology sector transfer. This symposium aims to give an overview of the current state of the art in the field of formation, properties, application and future prospect of hierarchical composites of MOFs and COFs.
The main objective of this meeting will be to exchange ideas and results regarding the synthesis, characterization, properties of potential practical applications of composite multifunctional materials based on MOFs and COFs.
The limited number of attendees will facilitate the mixing of the different researchers and exchange of ideas for future colaborations.
5. Proposed Program: Description of the topics to be covered and a list of the invited speakers (if any), and their organizational address.
The focus of the symposium will be multi-disciplinary, yet focused on the overarching theme of hierarchical composite development. This will entail multiple focus areas, as outlined below, ranging from fundamental growth mechanisms, to potential applications, to macroscopic shaping of systems.

6. Conference Facilities: The meeting will be held in a conference room with a capacity up to 100 attendees with seats being disposed in two rows. The conference room is fully equipped with computers, speakers and two projectors which will be used for the oral presentation. There will also be an adjacent court to held the secretariat of the conference and the presentations in the form of poster. This space will also be used for the conference coffee breaks which will allow discussion opportunities after the oral and poster presentation sessions.
6.1. Surface Growth. Understanding interfacial properties for optimal growth of heterogeneous structures on surfaces and films. Examples include MOF/fiber growth, layer-by-layer growth of MOFs, chemical vapor deposition strategies, metal oxide deposition on surfaces.
6.2. Mixed Matrix Membranes & Composites. Understanding methods for incorporating sorbents into other matrices, such as mixed matrix membranes.
6.3. MOF/MOF Interfaces. Understanding principles of growing multiple MOFs into one composite. Examples include core-shell type structures, layer-by-layer growth of different MOFs, hierarchical pore structure development, etc.
6.4. Structure/Activity & Evaluation Methods. Understanding how to evaluate hierarchical structures, probing activity and how that relates to structure of the material.
6.5. Computational Modeling. In silico design of materials with properties and applications a la carte. Modeling of adsorption and catalytic sites.
6.6. Potential Applications. A look at potential applications of hierarchical structures in separations, sensing, electronics, and other areas.
