Dear Participants,

On behalf of the organizers, it is our pleasure to invite you to attend the International Conference "Organic & Hybrid Functional Materials and Additive Technologies", to be held in Moscow, September 23-28, 2018.

Development of functional organic and hybrid molecular systems is currently at the peak of its relevance. It admittedly represents one of the foremost priorities in development of new technologies and applications. Recent advancements in the chemical sciences provide outstanding opportunities of obtaining the most complex molecular architectures ever possible. The remarkable advent of 3D printing and other additive technologies brings unprecendented challenges to this area.

Innovative organic and hybrid materials and their continuously increasing impact on life sciences, nanotechnology, catalysis, energy research, additive manufacturing, photonics, electrochemistry, biomass recycling, and many other modern activities are approaching a point of cost-effective commercialization. Rational application of such materials will substantially reinforce the related industries, being ultimately translated into social, economical, and environmental benefits.

See Scientific Program for the subject areas of ChemTrends-2018.

We believe that the great history and cultural heritage of Moscow, making the city an attractive venue for an exceptional scientific program, will also reward the participants with excellent social experience and sightseeing. We take pride in the Red Square and Kremlin being included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as the top historical places to visit in Russia. The monumental architecture, masterpieces of the Tretyakov Gallery and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, and many other unforgettable attractions compose the unique atmosphere of Moscow, strong and balanced even in our rapidly changing modern reality.

Looking forward to welcome you at the ChemTrends-2018,

Cordially yours,
Mikhail Egorov and Valentine Ananikov.
