The seventh edition of the LiTF Symposium will be held in India from November 12鈥�14, 2026, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal.
The symposium is designed to serve as a vibrant platform for the growing chemistry community in India, with a strong emphasis on young and early-career researchers. The themes of this year symposium are polymer science, nanotechnology, catalysis, transition metal chemistry, biomaterials, supramolecular chemistry and many more.
About the Poster Presentation
Researchers will have the opportunity to showcase their most compelling work at the poster session during the symposium. At the conclusion of the session, we will present the 鈥楤est Poster Prizes鈥�, supported by the Chemical Science journal.
Research scholars who wish to present their posters are invited to submit their abstracts through the provided link by September 10, 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be notified by November 30, 2025, and are advised to make travel arrangements only after receiving confirmation of their selection.
Additionally, the recipients of the 鈥楤est Poster Awards鈥� will be given the opportunity to present their research orally on the final day of the conference. The schedule for these presentations will be communicated to the awardees during the symposium.
