International Conference on Sustainable Chemistry for Net Zero (ICSC-NZ), taking place in the picturesque town of St. Andrews, Scotland. This event is being organised in collaboration with ScotCHEM, the consortium of Scottish Chemistry Departments, and the University of St. Andrews.

About the Conference
The aim of ICSC-NZ is to bring together leading researchers from around the world who are working on crucial themes for a sustainable, net-zero future. The conference will focus on Molecules for Net Zero and Materials for Net Zero, with the goal of developing innovative solutions to the challenges of achieving a net-zero carbon economy. The event promises to be a collaborative and forward-thinking forum for discussing sustainable chemistry solutions.

Conference Themes
Some of the exciting topics that will be explored at ICSC-NZ include:

  • Green Synthesis/Catalysis: Involving small molecules, materials, and polymers, especially those derived from bio-based feedstocks or CO₂.

  • Energy Storage Solutions: Development of molecules and materials for energy storage applications, such as batteries and hydrogen storage technologies.

  • Circular Economy & Waste Recycling: Innovative approaches to CO₂ capture, as well as the chemical recycling of plastic waste and other waste products.

Event Highlights
The conference will feature a rich programme, including:

  • 7 Plenary Lectures by renowned experts in sustainable chemistry.

  • 18 Session Plenary Lectures covering both the Molecules for Net Zero and Materials for Net Zero themes.

  • 36 Oral Presentations and Poster/Flash Presentations selected from submitted abstracts.

These sessions will provide ample opportunity for attendees to engage in discussions and exchange ideas on cutting-edge research and developments in the field.
