The 8th ISGC Edition
The World Event in Sustainable Chemistry Research & Innovation
ISGC is a leading international symposium dedicated to green chemistry and sustainable innovation, bringing together scientists, industry leaders, startups, and institutions from around the world.
Hosted in La Rochelle, France, the congress showcases the latest advances in sustainable chemistry through plenary lectures, scientific sessions, industrial exhibitions, poster presentations, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration between research and industry.
From catalysis and bio-based materials to clean processes and circular chemistry, ISGC highlights the innovations shaping the future of sustainable chemical sciences.
