Environmental pollution remains a critical global issue, threatening human health, ecosystems, and the overall well-being of our planet. Thus, maintaining a clean environment for human Health is a constantly urgent need for a global society.
Under the theme "Catalyzing Change for Sustainability and ESG: Bridging Academia and Industry," the 2025 Joint ICOBTE & ICHMET Conference focuses on innovative strategies to mitigate pollution, emphasizing the importance of trace element and heavy metal management in achieving a cleaner, healthier future. By bringing together scientists, researchers, early career scientists, end-users, industry leaders, policymakers, and other professionals from around the world, we aim to catalyze meaningful change and foster collaborations that bridge the gap between academia and industry.
Both ICOBTE and ICHMET have established themselves as leading platforms in the scientific community, each with a rich history of advancing knowledge and fostering innovation in the study of trace elements and heavy metals. This year, we unite these two conferences to create an unparalleled forum for discussing the latest research, sharing cutting-edge technologies, and exploring practical solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. The joint ICOBTE & ICHMET Conference is a forum where world-leading scientists in the field of trace elements and heavy metals in the environment present their latest research, insights, and cutting-edge technologies. Interactions occur across various disciplines, including human health issues, ecotoxicology, oceanic, atmospheric and earth sciences, trace element geochemistry and biogeochemistry, environmental technology, and analytical chemistry.
We warmly welcome you to join us in South Korea as we work together to catalyze change for a sustainable future.
