2nd Workshop on Challenges and Strategies in Degradation of Organic Contaminants Research

SMALL MOLECULES, BIG PROBLEMS

The production and constant use of various products present urgent and significant environmental challenges, causing considerable harm to living organisms. Despite efforts in water treatment, many organic contaminants have accumulated in the environment. These contaminants break down into degradation by-products under environmental conditions. Their small size, high stability, and slow decomposition make them a serious environmental concern.

The workshop aims to highlight the challenges and pitfalls in organic contamination research and explore effective methods for their removal from the environment. It will serve as a roundtable for presenting new findings and discussing them with the audience, providing a valuable opportunity to contribute to and enhance current research

The organizing committee warmly invites you to participate in our upcoming Workshop on Challenges and Strategies in the Research of Organic Contaminant Degradation, which will focus on innovative research shaping the future of materials science.

18 November 2025
Online via Zoom
Students, researchers, and anyone interested in the field of materials engineering
No registration fees.

Participation is free.
