Under the motto "Chemical Universe Meets Planetary Boundaries," the annual conference will focus on the problem that our modern life is unimaginable without chemicals and their diverse applications – yet their release into the environment has far-reaching consequences. From increasing concentrations of persistent pollutants in soils and waters to atmospheric pollution, chemical substances contribute to disrupting the Earth's natural balance, with potentially irreversible consequences for humans and the environment. The Conference will address these challenges and discuss how we can work together to develop sustainable solutions. Further information, registration, and subsequent abstract submission can be found on the conference website.
