SUMMARY:27th International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics
DESCRIPTION:The main goals of the ICCT conferences are to provide a forum to discuss the latest advances\, promote and accelerate collaborations\, and extend the impact of thermodynamics and attract young scientists worldwide to encourage research cooperation. The series initially organized by IUPAC Commission I.2 on Thermodynamics\, has been carried on by the International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics (IACT). The conference focuses on development of analytical methods based on thermodynamic principles\, and on applying those method to novel systems. A substantial element of the conference has always related to dissemination of scientific data; at this year it will connects with the current WorldFAIR efforts. More generally\, the techniques at the core of the conference are essential to many fields\, including materials science\, biophysics and chemical process design. The topics of the Conference have been carefully chosen to show the recognised importance and broader applications of chemical thermodynamics. \nThe technical sessions for ICCT2025 will be held at the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto\, providing a dynamic and inspiring setting for meaningful discussions and the exchange of knowledge among researchers and industry professionals in the field of Chemical Thermodynamics. This event is proudly organized by the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto\, in partnership with the Portuguese Society of Chemistry (SPQ). \n \nContacts:\nProf. Luis M.N.B.F.

SUMMARY:What is carbon neutrality and how to achieve it?
DESCRIPTION:‘Promoting Chemistry Applied to World Needs‘ webinar series\nReducing total CO₂ emissions to zero is called #CarbonNeutrality. To achieve this\, industrial and energy reforms must be undertaken within the next decade. However\, the specific measures are not generally known. Join us for a special webinar with Junji Nakamura\, a Research Professor at the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research\, Kyushu University\, to explore what the path to carbon neutrality looks like. \nThe global warming problem is serious. Reducing total carbon dioxide emissions to zero is called carbon neutrality. To achieve this\, industrial and energy reforms must be undertaken within the next decade. However\, the specific measures are not generally known. If we limit the use of fossil resources such as oil\, natural gas\, and coal\, we must produce artificial fuels. Chemical reactions are used to produce them. Therefore\, the contributions of chemists are extremely important. In addition\, chemists need to use numbers to quantitatively discuss and select the most desirable path. The keywords here are hydrogen and methanol. This webinar will focus on what the path to carbon neutrality looks like. \n \n \nNakamura has extensively studied catalytic mechanism relating to methanol synthesis on Cu-based catalysts. Nakamura has clarified that the alloy site of Cu and Zn is the active site through model catalyst research. The “CuZn active site model” is known worldwide. Recently\, Nakamura has found that formation of formate takes place through an extremely rare Eley-Rideal (ER) type mechanism as a catalytic reaction mechanism\, which has been reported in Nature Chemistry (2019). Another outstanding research is the study of nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction. There are two major types of doped-nitrogen\, graphitic nitrogen and pyridinic nitrogen\, but which one forms the active site was a controversial issue. Nakamura conducted electrochemical measurements using a model catalyst that produced both nitrogen species separately\, and clarified that the pyridinic nitrogen form an active site. The research paper has been published in Science in January 2016\, which is the most cited paper with a keyword of “catalyst” published since 2016. \n \n↪️🧪This free\, virtual webinar is part of a series entitled “Promoting Chemistry Applied to World Needs” coordinated by Beyond Benign and CHEMRAWN. It is a must-attend for anyone interested in sustainable chemistry. Each session aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and IUPAC’s Top 10 Emerging Technologies\, offering a unique perspective on how chemistry is shaping a sustainable future.\nRegister now to join us February 6th from 6-7 p.m. EST / February 7th from 8-9 a.m. JST: https://bit.ly/4a5UQep \nThis webinar series is part of IUPAC project 2024-010-2-021.

SUMMARY:6th African Conference on Research in Chemistry Education (ACRICE)
DESCRIPTION:Current Challenges and Future Trends in Chemistry Education Research\nACRICE is a conference that tackles challenges on teaching chemistry in Africa. It provides an excellent platform for educators\, researchers\, and practitioners to share insights\, discuss innovative approaches\, and address challenges in teaching and learning chemistry as well as other disciplines and education in general. \nAmong the three pillars of sustainability –social\, economic and environmental– the latter bears and impacts significantly on the other two towards the achievement of a sustainable environment for posterity. The environment has an influence on social structures and natural resources\, such that the effect of chemicals on mining\, water bodies\, climate change and life on earth cannot be disputed. The conference is expected to clearly draw the relationships among these three pillars and make chemists more responsible with the manufacture and application of chemicals in everyday life activities\, education and industries. It is hoped that this conference will set the tone for more responsible use of chemicals in the manufacture of traditional and innovative products. It is also expected that the conference will highlight sustainable chemistry education and advance the importance of information and communications technology (or technologies) (ICT) in chemistry. \nConference Topics \n\nLearning/ Teaching Methodologies and Assessment\nCurriculum\, Research and Development\nE-learning Challenges and Opportunities\nEducation policy and leadership\nQuality Assurance\nDiversity and inclusivity in chemistry education\nAcademic Integrity and ethics in chemistry education and research\nCurrent trends and future directions in chemistry education research\nGlobal Perspectives in Chemistry Education\n\nContact: Dr. Clarence A.

SUMMARY:Solutions in Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Solutions in Chemistry 2024 (SiC2024) is a response to the growing demand both in the academic and industry sectors in Croatia and is held biennially. The scientific program incorporates top scientists and entrepreneurs who will share their expertise with colleagues and younger chemists. The event is planned to be interdisciplinary and appeal to a wide range of chemists while at the same time keeping the guiding line of “solutions” throughout the program. The conference is primarily aimed at enthusiastic chemists interested in finding solutions to existing chemical challenges and a balanced selection of international and domestic plenary and invited speakers will enable good interactions and approach to problem solving from different angles. While important\, this solution seeking will not overshadow the scientific aspect of the conference since there can be no problem solving without the in depth knowledge and expertise in the given field. The impact of the event will therefore be two-fold and the international participant attendance will ensure a two-way knowledge exchange and foster future networking. \nCo-Chairs:\nProf. Ernest Meštrović and Prof. Vladislav Tomišić\, President of the Croatian Chemical Society \nContact:\nDr. Andrea Usenik\, Secretary\nFaculty of Science\, University of Zagreb\nsolutionsinchemistry@hkd.hr
