8th International Sol-gel Society (ISGS) Workshop: Sustainable Sol-Gel Energy Materials SUSGEM 2023

The 8th edition of the ISGS Workshop will take place in Castelló de la Plana (Spain) from 1st to 4th October 2023. The Workshop will focus on Sustainable Sol-Gel Energy Materials (SUSGEM 2023). Experts in several research fields will deliver lectures covering different topics related to Sol-Gel Chemistry and Energy, including materials, properties, processing, and technologies, with a look towards Sustainability. These lecturers will be combined with oral and flash presentations from the participants. SUSGEM 2023 aims at gathering early career researchers and world-leading scientists, being an excellent opportunity for young scientists to present their research in a relaxed atmosphere, facilitating scientific exchanges and making connections. So, take a break in the lab, and join in!! Looking forward to seeing you at Castelló! Prof. Verónica C. de Zea Bermúdez and Dr. Beatriz Julián López (local organizer)

The ISGS – Supporting the Activities of an Active Non-Profit Society

Since its launch at the 12th International Sol-Gel Conference in Australia in 2003, the International Sol-Gel Socie-ty has aspired to support the sol-gel community-of-practice through a variety of initiatives, including the biennial International Sol-Gel Conferences and the awards given to celebrate achievements at various career stages from PhD student to senior sol-gel practitioners. These activities, their expansion, and future initiatives currently being developed by the ISGS Board, are all supported by our annual membership fees.
