Crystallography matters ... more!

The International Conference on Pure and Applied Chemistry (ICPAC) is a biennial event organised since 2010. ICPAC-2014 will be held from 23rd to 27th June 2014, in Mauritius. The Organising Committee has adopted the theme “Crystallising Ideas: The Role of Chemistry” for this event. This theme matches with the declaration of the Year 2014 as the International Year of Crystallography.

Chemistry is one of the subjects of Science for understanding and explaining makeup and changes of everything that has mass and occupies space. Chemistry has permeated the study of different branches of Science.

The World has condensed into a global village with progress in Science and Technology. However the World is now facing a crisis due to explosive increase in the demand of energy, food and water. Therefore, Science and Chemistry have crucial roles for sustaining the development of our planet.

The conference program will feature a wide variety of keynote, plenary, invited and contributed lectures, as well as poster sessions. There will also be workshops and symposia conducted by experts on different chemical aspects.

This conference will provide a platform for participants to share and discuss recent findings of their research covering all topics related to Chemistry and crystallise new ideas. It will also be an opportunity for participants to visit the island of Mauritius, famous for its sun, sea and sand and multicultural aspects.

We look forward to welcoming you, academicians and researchers, to participate in this international gathering.
