Synopsis

On behalf of the joint community of SCI’s Chinese UK Regional Group and the Chinese Society of Chemical Science and Technology in the UK (CSCST-UK), it is our pleasure to wish you a warm welcome to the 26th Annual SCI-CSCST Conference at SCI in London.

The long-standing tradition of the SCI-CSCST Conference dates back to when the inaugural conference was organised in 1994. Since then, the CSCST community has continuously grown and further contributed to the various fields of chemical science and engineering in the UK, as well as worldwide. Furthermore, in the 26 years of collaboration with SCI (itself having a rich history dating back to 1881) and foundation of SCI's Chinese UK Group, we also created a platform to enable the development of links between fundamentals and industrial practice and applications, delivering real impact to contribute to the growth of the UK economy. We are very proud of our contribution to the science and engineering sectors.

In the 26th anniversary of this event, we would like to gather and celebrate the successes and achievements of Chinese colleagues in in UK academia and industry, as well as those of their teams, collaborators, and guests.

Attendees
Early and mid-career researchers; PhD students, research associates, research fellows, research scientists, lecturers, engineers.
