CEEC-PCMS2 is an international conference extending an invitation to researchers specializing in Physical Chemistry and Materials Science. The event serves as a platform for the exchange of experiences and knowledge among professionals engaged in these fields or related disciplines. In addition to the main conference, the programme includes dedicated working sessions in the form of workshops. These sessions provide a relaxed and informal setting for participants to engage in discussions about their research plans and requirements.
This conference presents a valuable opportunity to unite distinguished scientists from Central & Eastern European countries with their counterparts worldwide. By facilitating interactions, it aims to cultivate new connections and encourage collaborations that can contribute to advancements in the respective fields. The inclusive environment fosters a spirit of camaraderie, enhancing the overall experience for all participants.
In Central and Eastern Europe, the field of Physical Chemistry has a long history and tradition; on the other side, during the last 3 decades, the field of Materials Science has garnered huge attention from the large public and became a hot topic for the scientific world. Therefore, the scientists belonging to these two communities, which usually are overlapping to a high extent, have now the possibility together to attend symposia “Central and Eastern European Conference on Physical Chemistry and Materials Science (CEEC-PCMS)”.
CEEC-PCMS serves as a platform for researchers to convene, showcase their work, elucidate their findings, and engage in discussions about the scientific and technical challenges encountered in both theoretical and applied physical chemistry. The primary objective is to foster a comprehensive understanding of and contribute to the development of innovative and practical materials. You can find out more about the keynote speakers and their field of research.
Every two years, CEEC-PCMS aims to gather scientists from Central and Eastern Europe, mainly, but not limited, from the area described by the following countries: Germany and Switzerland to Kazakhstan, and from Scandinavia & the Baltic countries to the Balkans, Turkey & the Caucasians. The previous CEEC-PCMS meeting was held in Split – Croatia (July 2022) and gathered more than 300 participants.
Our conference extends a warm invitation to scientists worldwide engaged in Physical Chemistry and Materials Science, encouraging the sharing of experiences and knowledge with peers in these fields or related disciplines. In addition to the standard symposia, the program includes interactive working sessions (workshops) designed to create a relaxed and informal space for participants to discuss their plans and requirements. This unique format provides a significant opportunity to unite distinguished researchers from Central & Eastern European countries with their global counterparts, fostering the establishment of new connections and encouraging collaborative efforts.
The 2nd Central and Eastern European Conference on Physical Chemistry & Materials Science (CEEC-PCMS2) is based on 30 topics covering the most important areas of Physical Chemistry and Materials Science.
For the venue of the CEEC-PCMS2 Conference (16–19 of September 2024) we have chosen the city of Kaunas, which is the second largest city in Lithuania.
Hope to see you in Kaunas!
The CEEC-PCMS2 conference does not welcome persons working/registered with institutions from Russian Federation, nor working/registered with institutions from Belarus. Those associated with institutions from Russian Federation and Belarus are not accepted at CEEC-PCMS2 conference.
During the conference, photographs will be taken to capture various moments, which may be used for the promotion and dissemination of the CEEC-PCMS2 event.
