The International Conference on Chemical Kinetics (ICCK) brings together investigators from universities, research laboratories, and industrial organizations to review progress and problems in modeling, theory and experiment related to chemical kinetics. This cross-disciplinary meeting highlights the importance of fundamental understanding of elementary reactions to a full range of chemical investigations and the central role of chemical kinetics in addressing critical technological and environmental issues. The ICCK meetings provide a unique forum to discuss how the same reactive species and reaction motifs manifest under very different reaction conditions (e.g., atmospheric, aqueous, combustion, plasma, in nonaqueous solvents, and on surfaces).
In recent years, ICCK was held in Hefei (2023), Orléans (2019), Chicago (2017), Ghent (2015), Seville (2013), and Boston (2011). The 13th ICCK in 2025 will concentrate on the multifaceted role of chemical kinetics as an enabling discipline. Chemical kinetics guides our description of chemical transformations in the Earth environment and beyond, enables discovering, characterizing, and controlling reactions from biological systems to combustion to catalytic transformations, and helps develop affordable, reliable, and secure energy technologies.
