About

We warmly invite you to Zagreb for the 18th International Seminar on Inclusion Compounds and Porous Materials (18ISIC), to be held at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, taking place 20-25 September 2026.

Dates 20-25 September 2026
Venue Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb

Since its beginning in 1987, the ISIC meeting has grown into a recognized international forum that brings together researchers working on inclusion compounds, supramolecular chemistry, porous and framework materials, and related systems. Over the years, ISIC meetings have been hosted in various locations around the world, including Slovakia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, South Africa, Moldova, Turkey, The UK, and Poland.

The goal of 18ISIC remains the same: to create exciting environment where early-career and experienced scientists alike can exchange ideas, discuss new results, and build collaborations.

We look forward to welcoming you to Zagreb.

Update (21 July, 2026): We are pleased to be hosting a range of international speakers to discuss crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, green chemistry, materials, and theoretical modelling.

Scope

  • Supramolecular chemistry
  • Porous Materials
  • Framework Materials (MOFs/COFs)
  • Inclusion Compounds
  • Self-organization
  • Solid-state Materials
  • Theory and structure
  • Crystal engineering and solid-state reactivity
