ISCSummerSchool2026 3rd International Supramolecular Chemistry Summer School

We are pleased to announce that the

3rd International Supramolecular Chemistry Summer School

will be held in
Santa Margherita di Pula (CA)  , on the 24th-29th May 2026

The event will take place at the Hotel Flamingo Resort (https://www.hotelflamingo.it/).

The previous editions of the School were organized in 2022 and 2024. This year’s edition is co-organized with the LUCES COST Action.

LUCES (COST Action CA22131) is a multidisciplinary network bringing together researchers from academia, research centers, and industry to develop luminescent sensors for environmental safety applications. By combining expertise in supramolecular chemistry, sensing, (nano)materials, electronics, modeling, and analytical techniques, the Action aims to advance these sensors from fundamental research towards real-world use.

Like the previous editions, it will be a multidisciplinary summer school (in the spirit of supramolecular chemistry), and it will cover various subjects:

Soft, hard, and chemiluminescent materials;

Host-guest chemistry;

Biomedical applications of supramolecular chemistry;

Computational chemistry;

Crystal Engineering;

Analytical chemistry;

Topology and molecular machines;

Catalysis;

Flow and automated supramolecular chemistry

The number of participants in presence is fixed to 80. 

This year’s edition will have a Bridging Event between the 3rd International Supramolecular Chemistry Summer School and Italian Supramolecular Chemistry Conference 2026 (Supramol 2026), which will be held in Trieste from Monday 22nd June to Thursday 25th June 2026.
Five discounted registration slots are available for PhD students and postdocs who register for both the 3rd International Supramolecular Chemistry Summer School (Santa Margherita di Pula (CA), Sardinia, Italy, May 24–29, 2026) and Supramol2026.
The total registration fee for the two events is fixed at €650 instead of €950.
The joint registration application must be sent to suprasummerschool@unica.it and supramol2026@units.it by 30th January 2026, including a short CV with current position, supervisor’s name, and relevant publications. Applicants should not proceed with payment until they receive official confirmation from the Organizing Committee regarding the outcome of their application. Further information is available on our Financial Support page and supramol2026.
The Summer School Organizing Committee also offers free registration and the opportunity to give an oral presentation at Supramol2026 as an award for the best poster presented by an Italian author.
