Chemistry Beyond Boundaries: Building Trust, Breaking Myths

In today's digital age, the rapid spread of information—and misinformation—presents unique challenges. Chemistry, as a foundational science, plays a pivotal role in addressing critical global issues such as climate change, public health, and sustainable development. However, misconceptions and false narratives can undermine public trust in scientific advancements.

Our theme, "Chemistry Beyond Boundaries: Building Trust, Breaking Myths," is more relevant than ever. It aims to address these challenges by promoting open, evidence-based dialogue and showcasing chemistry's transformative potential. The theme reflects our goal of bridging gaps across disciplines and sectors, reinforcing chemistry's role as a trusted source of innovation and truth.
