TCC 2026

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 23^rd Tunisia Chemistry Conference (TCC 2026), which will be held from 20 to 23 December 2026 at the Iberostar Diar El Andalous Hotel, El Kantaoui, Tunisia.
As the flagship scientific event of the Tunisian Chemical Society, the Tunisia Chemistry Conference has established itself as a premier forum for bringing together researchers, academics, industrial professionals, and students to exchange ideas, present their latest scientific achievements, and foster meaningful collaborations. Over the years, the conference has become a cornerstone for scientific dialogue and networking within the chemistry community, while increasingly strengthening its international dimension.
TCC 2026 will offer a stimulating scientific program covering a broad spectrum of chemistry through plenary lectures delivered by distinguished scientists, as well as oral and poster presentations showcasing recent advances in fundamental and applied research. The congress aims to encourage interdisciplinary discussions, promote innovation, and create opportunities for new national and international collaborations.
Beyond its scientific program, the conference provides an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships, establish new professional connections, and inspire the next generation of chemists. We are particularly delighted to welcome early-career researchers and students, whose enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment are essential to the future of our discipline.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our invited speakers, sponsors, partners, members of the Scientific and Organizing Committees, and all participants for their invaluable contributions to making this conference possible.
I wish you a productive and enjoyable stay, inspiring scientific discussions, and a rewarding conference experience. I also hope you will take the opportunity to discover the warm hospitality, rich history, and beautiful Mediterranean setting of Tunisia.
I look forward to welcoming you to TCC 2026 and wish you every success throughout the conference.
