EuChemS Annual Meetings 2025 in Poznań

The European Chemical Society (EuChemS) held its annual meetings in the last week of October, kindly hosted by the Polish Chemical Society and the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Presidents and representatives of Member Societies, the EuChemS Executive Board, and Professional Networks gathered to discuss key developments and future plans.

Among the guests were Javier García-Martínez, Chair of the Scientific Committee of the 10th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC10); Jean-Pascal van Ypersele of UCLouvain, former Vice-Chair of the IPCC; and Silvia Penati, Chair of COARA-TIER.

The General Assembly elected Wolfram Koch as the next President-Elect (2026), who will later serve as President (2027–2029) and Vice-President (2030–2031). Hans Peter Lüthi was re-elected as Treasurer until the end of 2028. Newly elected Executive Board members include Gianluca Maria Farinola, Gill Reid, and Sonsoles Martín Santamaría, serving from 2026 to 2029.

Warm thanks were expressed to outgoing Board members Floris Rutjes, Nicola Armaroli, Slavica Ražić, Cristiana Rădulescu, and Pat Guiry for their dedicated service.

The upcoming 10th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC10), taking place 12–16 July 2026 in Antwerp, was a central topic of discussion, promising an exciting scientific programme.

We thank our hosts in Poznań for their warm hospitality and look forward to meeting again next year in Belgrade!
