WELCOME TO THE 12TH SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL CHEMISTRY CONFERENCE (SICC-12)

The 12th Singapore International Chemistry Conference (SICC-12) is scheduled to be held on 9 to 13 December 2024. It is hosted by the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry (SNIC) and it will cover organic, organometallic, inorganic and material chemistry. The theme will be “Building Chemistry: Bridging Disciplines” and about 2000 participants from all over the world are expected. We have already gathered an impressive roster of speakers, among them is Nobel Laureate Professor Aaron Ciechanover. This event will be held in-person only, in Singapore.

In addition, building on the “Germany-Singapore Framework for Sustainability and Innovation”, signed by both governments in November 2022, we are proud to host the “Angewandte Symposium” in Singapore, with the presence of Prof Stefanie Dehnen (President German Chemical Society, GDCh), and Prof. Annette Beck-Sickinger (Leipzig University & Chair Angew. Chem. International Advisory Board), among others.

It is our great pleasure to extend our welcome to chemists around the world to join us at this exciting event in Singapore.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
