Information:
The Session for Younger Chemists, organized by the Chemical Society of Thailand in collaboration with the
Thailand Younger Chemists Network (TYCN), is designed to empower the next generation of chemists by offering
a platform to present their research, practice concise communication, and engage in career-oriented
discussions. The program will feature pitching presentations where approximately eight young chemists
deliver 3-minute talks to showcase their research ideas and achievements. Following this, an interactive
career development dialogue will provide insights into pathways, opportunities, and challenges for
early-career chemists, while also encouraging open exchange between participants and mentors. The session
further serves as a networking opportunity, connecting younger chemists with senior academics and industry
professionals, and fostering collaborations that extend beyond the event. This special session will be held
on 13 February 2026 (Day 2 of the conference) in the afternoon, with a duration of about 2 to 2.5 hours.
