Welcome to the 2026 GÖCH Chemietage!
On behalf of the Austrian Chemical Society (GÖCH), we invite you to the 21st GÖCH Chemietage, from September 21st to 23rd, 2026, at the IMC University of Applied Sciences in Krems. This is the first time our conference will be held at an Austrian University of Applied Sciences, highlighting our dedication to linking academic research with practical application.
We are pleased to be collaborating with Austrian academic institutions as well as the Czech Chemical Society, which will help foster an even broader exchange of ideas. Our program emphasizes Green Chemistry and renewable materials, but we welcome contributions from all areas of the chemical sciences. This event will be a platform for exploring how we can innovate for a more sustainable future, covering topics from fundamental research to industrial applications.
The GÖCH Chemietage offers a unique opportunity for researchers, students, and industry professionals to connect. We are especially keen on strengthening the connection between schools, universities, and industry to create a pipeline for the next generation of chemists. The program features keynote lectures, oral presentations, and poster sessions, providing ample opportunities to share your work and engage with others in your field.
Beyond the scientific sessions, you can look forward to social events that highlight local culture and cuisine. We are also organizing exciting excursions to local cutting-edge companies.
The GÖCH Chemietage is certified as a “Green Meeting” (Environmental Policy UZ62), and we encourage you to join us in our commitment to sustainability.
We look forward to welcoming you to Krems for what promises to be an inspiring and forward-thinking event!
