Professor Istvan T. Horváth Memorial Lecture

- by Professor Walter Leitner (Max Planck Institute)

The conference program is highly interdisciplinary, covering multiple aspects of Green & Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering. The topics range from the fundamentals of Green & Sustainable Chemistry, to waste reduction by cleaner synthesis methods, alternative solvents, and span all core catalysis disciplines. Focus is also devoted to emerging circular economy subjects through the valorization of carbon-dioxide and renewable resources. 

Beyond the top-level scientific program, the conference features an attractive program targeting early career researchers:

“Emerging Talents in G&SC”

Let your research shine in the international spotlight! Two separate sessions are dedicated to talks given by early career researchers, selected from the submitted oral and poster applications. A committee, consisting of renowned scientists, will guide the questions and discussion. Join and find out who gets the best presentation prize?

 “Boost your PhD trajectory”

The PhD journey requires more than technical mastery; it demands robust self-development, encompassing soft skills, time management, and deadline-driven results. Effectively navigating this path necessitates strong teamwork within diverse, international environments. 

This interactive workshop, guided by Andrea Tamási professional coach, will equip you with vital skills for a productive and enjoyable PhD experience, with a specific focus on understanding and adapting to different communication styles through the DiSC model. 

By understanding these styles, you’ll not only enhance your own communication but also learn how to effectively interact with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, fostering a more productive and collaborative research environment. Moreover, knowing your personality type enables you to select a working style that maximizes your efficiency in managing time and energy, and minimizes procrastination and burnout.

“Coffee Corner – Ladies Choice”

Grab a cup of delicious coffee and enjoy a laid-back discussion with leading female scientists about how to succeed in a highly competitive academic environment, maintaining work-life balance, career choices & alternative career pathways and other relevant topics. The exchange is primarily focused on bridging the gender gap in STEM disciplines. All interested participants are welcome.
