Twelfth International Symposium Effects of Surface Heterogeneity
in Adsorption, Catalysis and related Phenomena will start in:

September 7-11, 2025 | Lublin, Poland

Welcome to ISSHAC-12!

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Twelfth International Symposium Effects of Surface Heterogeneity in Adsorption, Catalysis and related Phenomena (ISSHAC-12) which will be held from 7-11 September 2025 in Lublin (Poland).

ISSHAC is a well-established triannual meeting directed jointly by the Faculty of Chemistry & Institute of Chemical Sciences of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS), Haber Institute for Catalysis and Surface Chemistry of Polish Academy of Sciences and Lublin Branch of the Polish Chemical Society (PTChem).

The symposium provides an excellent opportunity for scientists, researchers and engineers from across Europe and from all over the world, working in academia, national labs and industry, to meet and discuss the latest advances in the physics and chemistry of surfaces, along with their industrial applications. Furthermore, it is a forum to discuss the progress of surface science in related innovation fields such as adsorption, catalysis, interfacial phenomena, solid surfaces, separation, gas storage, electrochemistry, functional surfaces & coatings, green chemistry, hybrid, nano- and biomaterials and many others (please see the full scope of the symposium), studied both using theoretical and experimental approaches. Additionally, as a part of the ISSHAC symposium, two sessions focusing on catalytic applications for a better future will be held:

and two sessions focusing on lignin-based biomaterials and adsorbents for water treatment: BIOMAT and CLEANWATER.

The ISSHAC symposium has been well known for its unique style: the lecture program is ample and, as such, there is little time for formal discussion. Instead the program puts emphasis on creation of a maximum number of opportunities for informal discussion and facilitation of direct person-to-person exchanges of ideas. The extended social program provides numerous such opportunities. Interaction-encouraging social programs are offered every day in the late afternoon and evening

In 2025, this five-day event will take place in the beautiful historic city of Lublin, in the green region of Eastern Poland. Situated approximately 1h 40 min from Warsaw and Chopin International Airport, Lublin offers a unique blend of Slavic culture, charm and modern amenities. The symposium will bring together leading experts, scientists and engineers at all stages of their careers as well as PhD students for engaging presentations and in-depth discussions, delving into the latest advancements and emerging trends in the aforementioned fields. So, lets meet in Lublin !
