About Conference
Libyan conference on chemistry and its Application is an event dedicated to promoting the growth, use and understanding of chemistry in life science.
The first meeting of this conference was held successfully in 2017 in Benghazi, and since then prominent institutions around Libya, such as University of Benghazi and Omar al-Mukhtar University have hosted the meetings.
The past two conferences witnessed a great attendance ranges from 200-300 attendees each came from different regions in Libya to collaborate and network.
This year the LCCA-2025 is organized by the University of Benghazi and will host some of the leading chemistry researchers around the world. It promises to be a great forum for chemists to network and build strong collaborations within their community and related disciplines.
The conference will include different researches in various areas in chemistry like (Physical chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry ,Analytical chemistry, Pharmaceutical chemistry ,Phytochemistry, Environmental and Energy chemistry, Industrial chemistry and finally Nanochemistry).
