The 12th Kenya Chemical Society (KCS) International Conference and the 10th Federation of African Societies of Chemistry (FASC) Congress will be held jointly from September 9 to 11, 2026, at the United States International University-Africa (USIU-A) in Nairobi, Kenya.

This joint conference brings together the two societies under a shared vision of “Harnessing the Power of Chemistry for a Sustainable Future”

The Federation of African Societies of Chemistry (FASC) (https://faschem.co.za/) is a pan-African organization that brings together national chemical societies from across the continent. Established to strengthen collaboration among African chemists, FASC plays a vital role in advancing education, research, and innovation in the chemical sciences. Through capacity-building initiatives, knowledge exchange programs, and advocacy, FASC promotes the integration of chemistry into national and regional development strategies, positioning the discipline as a cornerstone of scientific and socioeconomic progress.

The Kenya Chemical Society (KCS) (https://kenyachemicalsociety.org/), as a leading professional body in East Africa, has long been committed to advancing the practice, teaching, and application of chemistry. Its biennial international conference serves as a premier forum for scientists, educators, and industry professionals to share groundbreaking research, explore emerging trends, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

By co-hosting these flagship events, KCS and FASC create a powerful multidisciplinary platform for addressing some of the most pressing global challenges—climate change, public health, energy security, food safety, water access, and environmental sustainability. The conference provides an inclusive space for researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders from across Africa and beyond to present innovative findings, exchange ideas, and build transformative partnerships.

With a rich program covering diverse sub-themes—from green chemistry and materials science to AI in chemistry and chemical safety —this joint conference underscores the power of chemistry as a transformative force for sustainable development in Africa and beyond.

We invite you to join us in Nairobi for three days of intellectual exchange, scientific discovery, and collaborative engagement aimed at shaping a better, more sustainable future through the transformative power of chemistry.

Let us seize this opportunity to shape a better world—one molecule at a time.

With warm regards,

Organizing Committee, 12th Kenya Chemical Society International Conference & 10th FASC Congress
