In the year celebrating 75 years of continuous activity in the field of applied research, the National Institute for Research and Development in Chemistry and Petrochemistry – ICECHIM Bucharest invites you to the 7th edition of the Exploratory Workshop NeXT-Chem: Innovative cross-sectoral technologies, taking place on May 22-23 2025, at the INCDCP-ICECHIM headquarters, 202 Spl. Independenței, Sector 6, Bucharest. Our event aims to bring together young researchers, in order to encourage them to share their progress in chemistry and chemical engineering.
The workshop represents a great opportunity for Master and PhD students to address the targets of the National Research, Development and Innovation Plan 2022-2027 and the Romanian National Strategy for Research, Innovation and Smart Specialization 2022-2027 (which also constitute the main focus areas of ICECHIM).
On this occasion, we will be honored by the presence of prestigious international guests, among whom we mention:
- Dr. Roxana Ciceoi, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Romania
- Dr. Eng. Adriana Marinoiu, Senior Researcher Ist degree, National Research and Development Institute for Cryogenics and Isotopic Technologies – ICSI Rm. Valcea, Romania;
- Dr. Daniela Predoi, Senior Researcher Ist degree, National Institute of Materials Physiscs – Romania
- Dr. Cosmina Oana Arabela Venat, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Romania
- Prof. Dr. Roxana Vidican, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj-Napoca, Romania
- TBA
The topics addressed within the exploratory workshop are related to the international interests in the field, such as: nanosciences and nanomaterials, polymeric materials and nanomaterials, environmental and cultural heritage protection, sustainable management of resources, valuation of bioresources, increasing the competitiveness of industrial products, revitalization of the national chemical industry, recovery, recycling and valuation of agro-industrial by-products.
NeXT-Chem VII recognizes the transformative potential of quantum science and technology as a frontier in cross-sectoral innovation. Are specifically encouraged papers that explore how quantum approaches intersect with advanced chemistry, nanomaterials, and molecular engineering, celebrating the growing role of quantum technologies in shaping sustainable solutions and next-generation processes. Through this interdisciplinary dialogue, NeXT-Chem VII positions itself as a platform that promotes awareness, collaboration, and innovation at the interface between chemistry and the quantum revolution. This year’s edition of NeXT-Chem will take place under the auspices of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), which celebrates 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics.
The event will be held in English, in a hybrid format (online and at the ICECHIM headquarters), and no registration fees will be charged.
