Transforming Chemistry Summit 2026

Thank you to all speakers, poster presenters, partners, reviewers, participants, and members of the organizing team who made the first Transforming Chemistry Summit a great success. Watch the highlights video below and visit our news article for photos, impressions, and key moments from the event.

Over two inspiring days in Leipzig, the Summit brought together nearly 200 members of the international scientific community to exchange ideas, discuss future challenges, and explore how rethinking chemistry can drive sustainable innovation and create real-world impact. For a young research center like the CTC, bringing together so many leading scientists and emerging researchers is an important milestone and a strong signal of what can be achieved through collaboration. Hope to see you again in September 2027 at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.

Bringing together leading scientists, innovators, and thought leaders from around the world, the Transforming Chemistry Summit is a flagship event for everyone shaping the future of sustainable and circular chemistry. Over two impactful days, participants will share pioneering research, explore transformative ideas, and build connections that inspire new collaborations across academic and industrial communities.

Taking place on 15-16 September 2026 in Leipzig, Germany, the summit offers a valuable opportunity to engage with cutting‑edge developments and connect with peers from diverse fields. Whether you are pushing the boundaries of research, developing industrial innovations, or seeking strategic partnerships, this event provides a dynamic platform to exchange insights and shape the next chapter of sustainable chemistry.
