Together with the Chemical Society of Thailand, we are very honored to have an opportunity to host EuAsC₂S again in Thailand. It is anticipated that the EuAsC₂S-16 would be a common ground for scientists to present new ideas, discoveries, and innovations, exchange experiences, gain insights into frontier research in chemical sciences towards sustainability. We are honored to have three world-renowned scientists as plenary speakers: Professor Jean-Marie Lehn, Nobel Laurate in Chemistry 1987 from University of Strasbourg, who was the plenary speaker of the first EuAsC₂S that was held in Thailand (TBC to come in person or online). Professor John C. Warner, The Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry and Professor Paul T. Anastas, Yale University, the two distinguished professors of Chulalongkorn University in Green Chemistry and Sustainability. EuAsC₂S-16 will feature 7 scientific sessions and 3 workshops showcasing various aspects of frontier research and innovation in chemical sciences. A special session is arranged to dedicate to the late Professor Bernd M. Rode who played a significant contribution to EuAsC₂S. Also, we would like EuAsC₂S-16 to be a place to promote collaborative arrangements in chemistry among different sectors of chemical research and education including industry, academia, and research institutes.

We would like to warmheartedly welcome scientists of all generations from various disciplines and backgrounds around the world to Bangkok, Thailand in December 2023. We hope this will be a great opportunity for every participant to enjoy the superb science, the warm friendship, as well as the hard-to-beat natures and rich cultural heritage in Thailand, the Land of Smiles.
