The motto of this year’s Congress, ‘Let’s build bridges for new discoveries,’ refers both to the symbolism of Wrocław and to the idea of cooperation and knowledge exchange. Bridges serve as a metaphor for combining different fields of science, building relationships, and breaking down barriers between basic and applied research. Wrocław, a city of cultural and intellectual diversity, is an ideal place to create bridges between university scientists, young researchers, and industry representatives.

The Congress programme traditionally includes plenary lectures by the winners of prestigious medals awarded by PTC, sessions with lectures, communications, and poster presentations, as well as the ‘Forum of Youth.’ The meeting also provides an opportunity to bring together chemists from across Poland.

The social programme features a welcome party in the lobby of the Main Building of Wrocław University of Technology, a banquet in the Centenary Hall, and a meeting of the Young Section at Wrocław University of Technology. The cultural programme offers participants the chance to attend a performance at the Wrocław Opera.
