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 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.
We look forward to welcoming you to Krems for what promises to be an inspiring and forward-thinking event!
Prof.(FH) Priv. Doz. DI Dr. Uwe Rinner

Conference Chair

President of the Czech Chemical Society
It is our pleasure that the close location of the venue to the Czech border is reflected in the active participation of the Czech side under the auspices of the Czech Chemical Society.
The Czech Chemical Society (ČSCH) has represented the interests and activities of chemists in the Czech lands since the second half of the 19th century, whether they were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Czechoslovakia or currently the Czech Republic.
At present, ČSCH is one of the largest professional societies in the Czech Republic with ca 1100 members, who represent practically all specializations and fields of chemistry. In addition to chemists of various professions, a significant part of its members are students of chemistry and related fields, retired members and foreign experts. ČSCH is a founding member of the European Chemical Society (EuChemS), and a member of the “Affiliate Membership Program” of the world chemists’ organization IUPAC.
The ČSCH looks forward to cooperating with GÖCH. The exchange of information between scientists working in fundamental and applied research and industry experts from the Central European, historically interconnected area, is an ideal opportunity to strengthen existing cooperation and establish new ones.
