The International Conference on Pure and Applied Chemistry (ICPAC 2012) will be held on July 2-6, 2012, in Mauritius. This will be the second ICPAC conference after being a successful event in 2010.

The Organising Committee has adopted the theme “Chemistry: The Key for our Future” for this event.

Chemistry is one of the subjects of Science for understanding and explaining makeup and changes of everything that has mass and occupies space. Chemistry has permeated the study of different branches of Science.

Chemistry forms such an important and integral part of our daily life that it is not possible to live without Chemistry.

The World has condensed into a global village with progress in Science and Technology. However the World is now facing a crisis due to explosive increase in the demand of energy, food and water. Therefore, Science and Chemistry have crucial roles for sustaining our future.

The ICPAC 2012 conference program will feature a keynote lecture, a wide variety of plenary, invited and contributed lectures, as well as poster sessions. There will also be workshops and symposia conducted by experts on different chemical aspects.

This conference will provide a platform for participants to share and discuss recent findings of their research covering all topics related to Chemistry.

It will also be an opportunity for participants to visit the island of Mauritius, famous for its sun, sea and sand and multicultural aspects.

We look forward to welcoming you, academicians and researchers, to participate in this International gathering.
