Fifth Sino-European School on Atmospheric Chemistry (SESAC5)

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite students, from all countries, to the Fifth Sino-European School on Atmospheric Chemistry (SESAC5) to be held at Shanghai (China), in the period November 5 - 18, 2025. This school builds on the very successful first edition held in 2013.

See complete information at: http://sesac5.sciencesconf.org/

The course is aimed at PhD students and post-doctoral scientists in the field of atmospheric chemistry.

The emphasis of this Fifth School on Atmospheric Chemistry (SESAC5) is two folds:

• Scientific addressing will be on the routes for organics oxidation in the atmosphere, secondary organic aerosol formation and properties, dust physical chemistry, exchanges at interfaces (soil, oceans, etc…) and the implications to the atmosphere (air quality and climate change), etc.
• Building common awareness between the new generations of atmospheric scientists.
