Home - 3rd French-Polish Chemistry Congress

Invitation

The organizing committee cordially invites you to attend the 3^rd French-Polish Chemistry Congress, which will be held in Paris, France on 1^st-4^th July 2026.

The 3^rd French-Polish Chemistry Congress aims to popularize the achievements of Polish and French research teams in the field of chemistry. A particular attention will be paid to supramolecular, organic, (photo)catalytic, magnetic and biochemical chemistry, since their main concepts are the underpinning of multiple directions of modern research leading to the creation of new nanomaterials, catalysts and molecular switches vital to information gathering and processing. In turn, the interactions of small ligands with biomolecules are of great importance in the design of drugs effective in anti-cancer and gene therapies.

The program includes lectures of notable French and Polish chemists. Important contribution will be also given by PhD and MSc students.

3^rd French-Polish Chemistry Congress will bring together junior and experienced scientists. Special lectures will be delivered by prominent speakers Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski and Prof. Paweł Kulesza. The plenary lectures will be delivered by: Prof. Bruno Ameduri, Prof. Artur Ciesielski, Prof. Teofil Jesionowski, Prof. Ewa Mijowska, Prof. Jean-Francois Nierengarten and Prof. Miłosz Pawlicki.

The 1^st French-Polish Chemistry Congress was held in Paris in 2019 and gathered over 100 participants from France, Poland, and beyond. The meeting featured an exceptional scientific program, including a lecture by the Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry, Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn, as well as contributions from Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, nominated for the Nobel Prize. Other distinguished speakers included Prof. Bruno Ameduri, Prof. Karol Grela, Prof. Mir Wais Hosseini, and Prof. Adam Proń. The Congress provided a forum for high-level discussions spanning diverse areas of contemporary chemistry.

The 2^nd French-Polish Chemistry Congress took place in Montpellier in 2023 and attracted nearly 130 participants. Its scientific program included plenary and invited lectures, oral communications, and poster presentations. Prominent speakers at this edition were Prof. Artur Ciesielski, Prof. Teofil Jesionowski, Prof. Karol Grela, Prof. Guillaume Maurin, Prof. Miłosz Pawlicki, and Prof. Sébastien Ulrich. As with the first edition, the Montpellier Congress fostered intensive scientific exchange and networking among established researchers, early-career scientists, and students.

I^e Assises began with the evening gala – Soiree d’hommage à Jean-Marie Lehn – on July 23, 2015 at the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Paris, dedicated to Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn from the University of Strasbourg, Nobel laureate in chemistry in 1987, the member of the College de France. Another important event was a popular science lecture given by Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn “De la Matière à la Vie: Chimie? Chimie” in French, his native language. The audience had no doubts that Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn is a virtuoso of chemistry. July 24, 2015 was the day of the scientific conference Assises Franco-Polonaises de Chimie, where 15 lectures were given. At the end of the conference, young scientists, PhD students at the Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University, presented the results of their research to Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn. The intimate atmosphere of the meeting in the stylish hall of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Paris made these young people most satisfied with the participation in the meeting, since they had the opportunity to talk to the best French researchers.

On March 14-15, 2018 at the Scientific Station of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Paris second scientific symposium took place – II^e Assises Franco-Polonaises de Chimie. The festive evening on March 14, 2018 at the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Paris was dedicated to Prof. Jean-Pierre Sauvage, University of Strasbourg, Nobel laureate in the field of chemistry in 2016 together with Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Professor Ben L. Feringa, member of French Académie des Sciences, co-inventor of molecular machines, who gave a popular science lecture entitled “Molecular machines in biology and in chemistry”. In addition, on March 15, 2018, 17 lecturers presented their achievements in various fields: from supramolecular chemistry through catalysis, hybrid materials, graphene to applications in sensors and power engineering.
