The Chem4Energy community has grown out of a number of collaborative UK-Africa consortium programmes and 2026 will see the fifth in this series of annual meetings, which focus in particular on:
Although contributions in all areas within the Chem4Energy remit are welcome, core themes of the 2026 meeting include:
Professor Nora de Leeuw – University of Leeds, UK
Dr Marietjie Ungerer – University of Leeds, UK
Professor Cornie van Sittert – North-West University, South Africa
Further information about Chem4Energy 2026, including registration and abstract submission can be found on our dedicated conference website: https://eps.leeds.ac.uk/events-conferences/doc/chem4energy-2026
- Highlighting the synergy between experiment and computation
- Offering opportunities for early career researchers to disseminate their work in oral and poster presentations - often their first conference talk!
- Allowing plenty of opportunity for discussion of the research presentations
Although contributions in all areas within the Chem4Energy remit are welcome, core themes of the 2026 meeting include:
