Program

EUCHEMSIL 2026 aims to celebrate the rich diversity of science carried out across the liquid salt landscape, whether in high temperature molten salts, room temperature ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, water-in-salt electrolytes or anywhere in between.

Topics of interest include:

Structure and properties of molten salts, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents
Chemical synthesis and catalysis using liquid salts
Mineral extraction and material synthesis in liquid salts
Biorefining and new opportunities for the circular economy
Biomedical applications of liquid salts
Energy storage and conversion in molten salts and ionic liquids
New theories and computational approaches for understanding liquid salts

Registration will be on Sunday 26th July with the academic program running Monday 27th to midday Friday 31st. Wednesday afternoon will be left free for networking and exploring the city of Cambridge. There will be a poster session and an (optional) gala dinner. Further details will be released in due course.
