Dear Colleagues,
It is with pleasure that we can continue in the series of the International Conference on Solid State Chemistry (SSC) and can host the 15th SSC that follows the events held in Karlovy Vary (1986), Pardubice (1989), Bratislava (1996), Prague (2000), Bratislava (2002), Prague (2004), Pardubice (2006), Bratislava (2008), Prague (2010), Pardubice (2012), Trenčianske Teplice (2014), Prague (2016), Pardubice (2018), and Trencin (2022 – online due to covid).
The conference series was founded by Prof. Frumar as a symposium for scientists working in the field of solid-state chemistry, and the chemistry and physics of novel inorganic materials. New concepts, approaches, fundamental understanding, deep level of basic research as well as the application aspects of inorganic materials have been the core interest of the conference. Topics have continuously evolved reflecting the most emerging scientific topics of its time. It is the 15th series, where new topics such as environmental materials, green chemistry, principles of sustainable and green approaches to materials and technology are introduced.
The conference has become a truly interdisciplinary meeting covering all aspects of interesting scientific discoveries and materials-related topics. The SSC 2024 will continue in this tradition aiming to enrich and stimulate scientific discussion among different research fields. It is the natural curiosity of every scientist to tackle and answer the most difficult problems which connect us all.
We look forward to meeting you all in Usti nad Labem in September 2024.
Jiří Orava & Kamil Lang, Chairpersons of the SSC 2024 conference

Venue
The conference will be held in the new building of the Centre of Natural Sciences and Technology, which is the home of the Faculty of Environment, the host institute of the conference, and the Faculty of Natural Science J. E. Purkyne University in Usti nad Labem (UJEP).
The university bears its name after the famous Czech anatomist and physiologist Jan Evangelista Purkyne (1787-1869), who is probably best known, among other discoveries, for his work on neurons and fibrous tissue that conduct electrical signals.
In 2019, the mining history of the region was together with Saxony listed as a UNESCO heritage.
Address
J. E. Purkyne University in Usti nad Labem, Faculty of Environment Pasteurova 3632/15, 400 96 Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic
How to get to the venue
Usti nad Labem and the university is conveniently located between Prague (Czech Republic) and Dresden (Germany). Both Prague and Dresden have international airports with very frequent flights to many international destinations. Upon arrival to either of the cities, Usti nad Labem can easily be reached by frequent train connections (1 hour) either from Dresden or Prague main stations.
Programme
The conference will provide a framework for the presentation and discussion of ideas and information in the inspiring fields of:
Advances in solid-state materials synthesis, new solids, compounds, alloys, glasses, ceramics, polymeric and other materials
Advanced characterisation techniques, thin-film deposition…
Biomaterials, biotechnology and their applications
Chemistry and physics of emerging materials and devices
Computational and theoretical aspects including atomic and electronic structure of solids
Materials for environmental applications
Green and sustainable chemistry, materials and technology
Materials and principles of renewable energy production, conversion, and storage
Microporous/mesoporous materials
Nanomaterials, hybrid- and nanostructured solids
Physical chemistry of solids, electrochemistry and related topics
Photonic and optical properties of solids
This conference is also opened to other relevant and perspective topics.
