About GCRC-2026

The 2nd conference of the GITAM Chemistry Research Conference (GCRC) will be organized by Department of Chemistry, GITAM Deemed to be University, Visakhapatnam, India. The 2nd GITAM Chemistry Research Conference (GCRC-2026), themed “Advanced Materials and its Applications”, will spotlight the convergence of conventional and nanomaterials in catalysis, energy, medicine, and more. With a strong focus on interdisciplinary research and AI/ML integration, the conference aims to foster innovation, sustainability, and industry-academia collaboration. Key features include plenary and keynote lectures, invited talks from top scientists in India, panel discussions with industries and journal publications, poster sessions. GCRC-2026 provides a dynamic platform for scientists, educators, and industry professionals to exchange ideas, accelerate discovery, and inspire future innovators in materials science, nanotechnology, and their transformative applications across sectors.

Selected participants will be invited to submit to the ongoing special collections in Wiley journals (Chemistry Select, Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, ChemNanoMat, Chemistry & Biodiversity and ChemPhysChem)

Selected participants will be invited to submit to the special collections in (New Journal of Chemistry) in RSC Publications
