Welcome to the first ACS and RSC joint conference, a momentous collaboration between two esteemed organizations in the field of chemistry and engineering. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to Doha, Qatar, for this historic occasion.

This conference marks a significant milestone as it represents the first time that the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) have joined forces to host an event of such magnitude. The coming together of these two prestigious entities underscores our shared commitment to advancing the frontiers of science and addressing global challenges through collaboration and innovation.

Under the theme "Synergy for Sustainability: Engaging the Industry in Advancing a Greener Future through Chemistry and Engineering," this international three-day event serves as a platform for professionals, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world to converge and deliberate on pressing issues related to sustainability in our fields.

As we navigate the complex landscape of environmental and technological advancement, it is imperative that we channel the power of chemistry and engineering to pave the way for a greener and more sustainable future. Through interdisciplinary dialogue and collective action, we can drive meaningful progress and usher in a new era of innovation and sustainability.

Over the next few days, we will have the opportunity to engage in insightful discussions, exchange cutting-edge research findings, and forge valuable partnerships that will shape the future of our industries. I encourage each and every one of you to actively participate, share your expertise, and contribute to the collective endeavor of advancing sustainability through chemistry and engineering.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our esteemed speakers, sponsors, and attendees for their unwavering support and dedication. Together, let us embark on this transformative journey towards a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.

Thank you, and I wish you all a productive and inspiring conference.
