Orga-Poly-2026

Dear colleagues, students, and professionals,

It is our pleasure to invite you to the international congress “Frontiers in Organic Synthesis & Polymer Science 2026.” This meeting will bring together leading researchers from around the world to present recent advances from their laboratories and to discuss the evolving landscape of organic synthesis and polymer science.
By uniting these two closely intertwined disciplines, the congress aims to highlight their mutual impact and long-standing scientific synergy. We anticipate a series of dynamic sessions designed to promote the exchange of cutting-edge ideas, stimulate interdisciplinary dialogue, and foster new research collaborations.
Hosted in Hammamet, Tunisia, along the Mediterranean coast, the conference offers a rich scientific program complemented by full-board accommodations in a four-star venue.
We look forward to your participation and to an enriching scientific experience shared among colleagues from across the global community.

Hammamet in a few words

Situated on the scenic northern edge of the Gulf of Hammamet, the town of Hammamet stands as Tunisia's premier and most popular tourist destination. Strategically developed as the nation’s first resort, this former fishing village offers a distinct and welcoming coastal experience. Hammamet is famously known as the “garden resort” due to its rich greenery, featuring extensive olive groves and abundant citrus trees, which cultivate an incredibly relaxing environment. Visitors are drawn to the stunning beaches and exceptional opportunities for swimming and water sports. The town is also the namesake inspiration for the adjacent tourist area, Yasmine Hammamet, reflecting its deep connection to the local jasmine trade.
