With the theme of “Advancing Chemistry for Sustainable
Socio-economic Development”, CMCC provides an avenue for the academia,
scientists, researchers, educators and professionals to present their research
findings, latest in technology and innovation, and current development in key
areas in pure and applied chemistry. The major focus was on chemistry for socio-economic
development and improving quality of life.
During the Conference, 3 plenary lectures, 4 keynotes, 128 oral
presentations and 15 posters were presented, covering the following seven major
areas of chemistry.
- Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry (IBC)
- Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC)
- Physical and Computational Chemistry (PCC)
- Environmental and Green Chemistry (EGC)
- General Chemistry and Chemical Education (GCCE)
- Materials and Polymer Chemistry (MPC)
- Natural Products and Medicinal Chemistry (NPMC)
