About the Conference
About SuWatE+’ 26
Addressing the urgent challenges of water and energy requires the innovative use of chemistry. The proposed Second International Conference on Next Generation Sustainable Materials for Water and Energy Solutions – 2026 (SuWatE+’26) aims to bring together diverse branches of chemistry, materials science, chemical and mechanical engineering and computational studies to further advance this dynamic field of research.
Our conference aims to foster discussions and innovative solutions by exploring the current fundamental understanding of chemistry to address energy and water challenges. Additionally, we will focus on enhancing light-matter interactions, designing and synthesizing novel materials, and employing in-situ techniques to study chemical processes for water and energy solutions.
