Goals and visions 

The eleventh international conference continues the long tradition of chemical and technological conferences and aims to introduce the scientific community to the key challenges and problems of chemistry and energy in the international context and to suggest ways to address these challenges, especially in the Czech Republic, in the future.

Thematic focus of the ICCT 2025 conference

The following topics are chosen to correspond to the new priorities for the development of chemistry in the Czech Republic and reflect the current problems of chemical technologies, the issue of decarbonisation and the fulfilment of the objectives of the Paris Agreement of 2015 in terms of the update of the National RIS3 Strategy for the period 2021-2027, which was approved by the Government of the Czech Republic:
