Upcoming MDPI Conferences (2)
Online
This year, on 13th–15th September, MDPI has partnered with the University of Basel to bring you the 9th World Sustainability Forum (WSF 2021).
Calling for a “New Normal”
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged many of the world’s outdated economic, social, and environmental systems, prompting widespread calls for a global shift towards a more sustainable “new normal”.
Now, more than a year on since the world entered various forms of lockdown or pandemic management, WSF 2021 is an opportunity to help re-evaluate the relationships between society, politics, and the commercial world. By providing major sessions on topics of Business and Finance, Climate, Health and Medicine, Water and Education, WSF 2021 aims to establish platforms and networks among stakeholders and bring structure to the vision of a more sustainable world after the pandemic.
World Sustainability Awards – We Welcome your Nominations
At WSF 2021, we are excited to host this year’s World Sustainability Award and the Emerging Sustainability Leader Award, funded by the MDPI Sustainability Foundation and the Sustainability journal, respectively, and we welcome your nominations!
The recipients of the World Sustainability Award and Emerging Sustainability Leader Award are chosen from nominees by a Selection Committee consisting of a maximum of five members, including permanent members Dr. Shu-Kun Lin, founder and President of MDPI and founder and chairman of the MDPI Sustainability Foundation, and Prof. Dr. Ed Constable, former Vice President for Research of the University of Basel.
Nominees for the World Sustainability Award may be individual researchers or groups of researchers, whereas the nominees for the Emerging Sustainability Leader Award are individual researchers aged 40 or under at the time of the submission deadline. The awardees must have made, and continue to make, a unique and outstanding academic or societal contribution to sustainability in general or to a sustainability-relevant issue.
Awardees of both the World Sustainability Award and Emerging Sustainability Leader Award will receive a monetary prize of USD 100,000 and USD 20,000, respectively.
Abstract Submissions are Now Open!
Until the 13th July 2021, we are seeking proposals for session streams, sessions, and presentations of papers and posters for WSF 2021. All submissions should aim to foster research, networking, and debates in science and technology, the life sciences, and the social sciences, as well as fruitful exchanges between academia and the public, civic, or private sectors – We are looking forward to your submissions.

Since the early 1990s, hybrid organic–inorganic materials began to attract significant attention from researchers due to their numerous advantages. Hybrid materials generally include organic and inorganic components linked together at the nanoscale. Because of the nature of interactions connecting both phases, such materials can be divided into two types: a) those with no covalent bond between inorganic and inorganic components, and b) those with covalent bonds between the components. New generations of hybrid materials and nanocomposites with tailorable surface properties are finding increasing applications in many areas, including environmental protection, sorption technologies, biomedicine, sensing, catalysis, chromatography, or multifunctional protective coatings. Proper surface chemistry design is of the utmost importance, as the surface chemistry determines the key properties associated with practical applications in the above-mentioned areas.
Considering the above, this Special Issue focuses on the latest trends and advances in the synthesis and surface tailoring of various hybrid materials and their nanocomposites for different applications. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect articles dealing with new concepts related to the synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and applications of various types of hybrid materials. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to publish in this Special Issue of Molecules entitled "Surface Chemistry of Hybrid Materials" in the form of full articles, communications, or reviews.
The following experts will be present and talk:
- Dr. Inna Melnyk, Institute of Geotechnics SAS, Kosice, Slovakia, Chuiko Institute of Surface Chemistry NASU, Kyiv, Ukraine
- Prof. Dr. Gulaim Seisenbaeva, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden
- Dr. Mariusz Barczak, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin, Poland
- Dr. Ryo Kasuya, National Institution of Advanced Science and Technology (AIST), Tsukuba, Japan
When? 24 September 2021 at 2:00pm CEST | 8:00am EDT | 8:00pm CST Asia

Upcoming Partner Conferences (1)
Wroclaw, Poland
Since 1995, Conference on Cryocrystals and Quantum Crystals (CC) has been an important international forum for presenting new results on physics and chemistry of atomic and molecular solids such as rare gas solids, hydrogens, nitrogen, oxygen, methanes, helium isotopes, water ice, etc..
The CC conference is held every two years and since the first meeting in Almaty it is the sixt time that the CC community settles in Poland. Following the initial conference in Kazakhstan next meetings were held in: Polanica Zdrój (1997), Szklarska Poręba (2000), Freising (2002), Wrocław (2004 & 2008), Kharkiv (2006), Chernogolovka (2010), Odessa (2012), Almaty (2014), Turku (2016) and last time in Wojanów (2018).
The scope of CC is wide, including, but not limited to: films, nanoscale systems, low temperature physics, charged species in cryocrystals, spectroscopy of cryocrystals, ultra-low temperature and high-pressure studies, matrix isolation in cryocrystals, ultrafast dynamics in crystals, order-disorder phenomena, technological applications and instrumentation.
