The SCS Spring Meeting is a renowned one-day scientific symposium offering a high-quality program with leading national and international speakers. The theme for the 2026 edition is “Sustainability in Chemistry with Green Approaches and Innovative Synthesis.”
Catalyzing Change: Sustainability in Chemistry
The one-day conference, titled «Catalyzing Change: Sustainability in Chemistry with Green Approaches and Innovative Synthesis», is part of the 2026 Swiss Chemical Society Spring Meeting. The event brings together world-class scientists — including Bettina Lotsch, Susumu Kitagawa, Jeremiah Johnson, Eva Hevia, Francesco Stellacci, Miriam Unterlass, and Metin Sitti — to discuss how transformative ideas in chemistry can drive sustainability from the molecular scale to advanced materials.
Key Focus Areas
Participants will explore:
-
Green synthesis and sustainable reaction pathways
-
Innovative molecular design and functional materials
-
Advances in polymer chemistry, catalysis, and emerging materials
-
Strategies to reduce environmental impact through green chemistry principles
-
How molecular-level innovation enables real-world sustainable technologies
The SCS Spring Meeting 2026 highlights cutting-edge research and practical approaches that show how change begins at the molecular level and extends to innovative, functional systems. The symposium aims to inspire interdisciplinary collaboration and empower the next generation of chemists to catalyze a more sustainable future.
