ABOUT CONGRESS Polish Chemistry Congress

 

On May 29–30, 2025, in Kraków (at the Fabryczna 13 Conference Center), the 12th edition of the Polish Chemistry Congress took place – the most important and largest event for the chemical industry in Poland and Central Europe, organized by the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry (PIPC).

Every year, the two-day meeting  is an excellent opportunity to discuss the current situation of the chemical industry with hundreds of representatives of business, public administration, science, as well as experts from industry organisations.

The 12th edition of the Polska Chemia Congress took place at a particularly significant time during Poland’s presidency of the Council of the European Union, which had the guiding motto: “Security, Europe!”.

The next, 13th edition of the Polska Chemia Congress will be held on June 11–12, 2026, at the Arche Krakowska Hotel in Warsaw.
