Harnessing the Power of Chemistry for Sustainable Future

The 12th International Conference of the Kenya Chemical Society (KCS) and the 10th Federation of African Societies of Chemistry (FASC) Congress will be held jointly from September 9 to 11, 2026, at the United States International University-Africa (USIU-A) in Nairobi, Kenya.

This joint conference brings together the two societies under a shared vision of "Harnessing the Power of Chemistry for a Sustainable Future"

By co-hosting these flagship events, KCS and FASC create a powerful multidisciplinary platform for addressing some of the most pressing global challenges—climate change, public health, energy security, food safety, water access, and environmental sustainability. The conference provides an inclusive space for researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders from across Africa and beyond to present innovative findings, exchange ideas, and build transformative partnerships.

With a rich program covering diverse sub-themes—from green chemistry and materials science to AI in chemistry and chemical safety —this joint conference underscores the power of chemistry as a transformative force for sustainable development in Africa and beyond.
