ETCS 2027
It will be our great pleasure in inviting you to the upcoming International Conference on ‘Emerging Trends in Catalysis & Synthesis 2027’ which will be held on 26th to 28th February, 2027 at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India. This conference is being organized by the Department of Chemistry, IIT Kharagpur. This meeting is expected to intensify scientific interaction among leading researchers around the world from both industry and academia. It will enable the researchers to identify possible areas where collaborative work may be useful for better understanding of a complex system or designing new catalysts and materials.
The scientific programme will include the broad spectrum of organic and inorganic chemistry covering organometallics and catalysis, photocatalysis, organocatalysis, asymmetric catalysis, natural product synthesis and computational chemistry. The conference will include oral and poster presentations.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in ETCS 2027. Your presence in the conference will be highly appreciated to make the conference more graceful.

The Venue
Sir J.C. Ghosh, the first director of the institute started the chemistry department in 1952. Ever since its inception, the department has established the tradition of excellence in teaching and research in various corridors of chemistry. The multifaceted research activities and state-of-the-art facilities, the department offers one of the best academic environments in the country.
​
The prime focus on the research activities is on basic and traditional areas of chemistry, relevant to societal needs. The major research encompasses interdisciplinary areas such as organic, biophysical, bioinorganic, bioorganic, computational, material, nanomaterial, organometallic, polymer, solid-state, and theoretical chemistry. The department presently has 31 faculty members.
