Beschreibung

The symposium "Towards a Sustainable Future - Dream Reactions 2025" takes place on 21th August 2025 in Münster and is sponsered by the European Research Council. This one-day conference picks up on the overarching theme of "Sustainable Chemistry" from last years meetings in Münster, but with different thematic topics. However, while focusing on sustainable transformations, all other topics are also most welcome!

Chemistry is central to solving humanity's most pressing problems (e.g., limited resources, global warming, energy, good health, quality of life, biodiversity, food for all). The ability to selectively and efficiently produce/synthesize simple and more complex molecules (and chemical systems) is a key task of chemistry. This symposium aims to bring together scientists from different fields working on efficient synthesis (including (non) target-oriented synthesis, use of renewable feedstocks and recycling), resulting in scientific exchange and new solutions. Together for a better, sustainable future!

More details can be found on the conference flyer/poster. Please note that it is not possible to participate in this symposium online.
