The 28th International Conference on Chemistry Education & 17th European Conference on Research in Chemical Education (ICCECRICE 2026) will take place from July 13 to 17, 2026, at Atatürk University in Erzurum, Türkiye.

This joint conference serves as a major international forum for researchers and practitioners from around the world to share their latest research findings and best practices in chemistry education research.

The theme of the conference is "Chemistry Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence". The interplay between the development of technology, in particular generative artificial intelligence, and its implementation in the classroom is among the hot topics. However, ICCECRICE 2026 is open to all areas of research in chemistry education. We believe this conference will be a forum to share your good practices as well as learn from different perspectives worldwide.

Call for Participation & Abstract Submission

The abstract submission deadline is extended to March 1, 2026.
