Welcome to 28th SCI-CSCST Conference

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the 28th Joint Annual
Conference of the Chinese Society of Chemical Science and Technology in
the UK and Society of Chemical Industry's Chinese UK Reginal Group
(CSCST-SCI) which this year will be an online event from Thursday 9 to
Friday 10 September 2021.

CSCST community has continuously grown to the various fields of
chemical science and engineering in the United Kingdom, and worldwide.
In collaboration with the Society of Chemical Industry, a platform has also
been created to enable the development of links between the fundamentals
of industrial practice and applications, delivering real impact and growing
the UK economy.

During this 28th conference, we intend to celebrate the successes and
achievements of Chinese colleagues in academia and industry from UK
and other countries. The general themes of the CSCST-SCI 28 will cover
Chemical Engineering and Net Zero, as well as the latest methodological
and process developments in Energy, Materials, and Environment.
