Welcome to the World Conference on Carbon 2025!
Every year, scientists from the academic and industrial worlds dealing with carbon materials gather to exchange views on all aspects of this fascinating element, from the various materials synthesis processes to their applications, including their characterization and understanding of their properties.
After the Americas (Cancun) in 2023 and Asia (Shenzhen) in 2024, the 2025 edition comes back to Europe and is jointly organized by the Société Francophone d’Étude des Carbones (SFEC) and the University of Rennes, on behalf of the European Carbon Association (ECA). We are delighted to bring the carbon community together in the magnificent historic city of Saint-Malo for, much certainly, a very successful edition of this annual conference.
The scientific program and the social events will provide excellent opportunities to share new results, start or expand fruitful collaborations in all the research and development fields of carbon materials. We are looking forward to meeting you in Saint-Malo (Brittany, France) from June 29th to July 4th, 2025.
On behalf of the whole Organizing Committee,
Nathalie Job,
Conference Chair
Chair of the Société Francophone d’Étude des Carbones
