During 16-18 October 2024, INCDCP – ICECHIM will host the XXth edition of the International Symposium Priorities of chemistry for a sustainable development PRIOCHEM XX. Early-stage and experienced researchers with prestigious work are invited to present their most recent results in the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering, with applications in areas such as development of smart materials, bioeconomy, circular economy, cultural heritage protection, new materials for energy applications, or environmental protection.
Founded in 1950, ICECHIM has been carrying out research activities of high academic standing in the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering uninterruptedly for more than seven decades.
This international symposium is organized under the auspices of the Romanian Ministry for Research, Inovation and Digitalization. Its focus is on the research areas of the institute corroborated with the new guidelines on RDI activity at national and European level, included in the Horizon Europe program.
The symposium will host the following sections:
Denomination | Indicative |
|---|---|
1. Multifunctional materials, nanocomposites, innovative technologies and cultural heritage preservation | 1 – MTCH |

Tech Talks – Meet the mentors!
With its XXth edition, PRIOCHEM introduces a new concept dedicated to young researchers (and not only)!
Tech Talks – Meet Your Mentors! is an exciting opportunity for young researchers and students to engage with distinguished researchers from various scientific and technological fields, representing today’s and tomorrow’s mentors across several areas of expertise, to discover the prevailing and emerging scientific areas of intense interest and research focus. This event aims to inspire and educate the next generation of researchers.
By attending the event and interacting with our guests, young researchers will be able to gain valuable insights, a glance at the future of the RDI domain, and have networking opportunities with the prominent researchers of our national Research, Development & Innovation environment.

The INSPIRE project seeks to connect scientific research with the needs of society. It will do this by creating a research environment that is inclusive and transparent, using the Open Responsible Research and Innovation (ORRI) approach. The project aims to involve various groups in society in deciding what research should be done and to make sure that the results of this research are widely available. It also wants to find a balance between making science open and making sure that research results are useful and valuable. The ultimate goal is to create innovations that are sustainable and benefit society, especially in areas like the green and circular economy.
To make this happen, INSPIRE will take several steps to include ORRI principles in its research institute and partner SME. It will hold workshops to teach researchers about important ORRI topics, like making sure research is fair and diverse, getting citizens involved, and being transparent about research practices. The project will also create tools to help citizens participate in deciding what research is done and a way to measure the impact of research results.
INSPIRE has received funding from the REINFORCING project (Horizon Europe) and the implementation period is 1 year (01.09.2024-31.08.2025).
The aim of the workshop is to introduce participants to the ORRI principles and the activities of the REINFORCING project.

Innovation starts from creativity, great ideas and it seems to be a mystery; but looking at the innovation process we find it is also a systematic
approach (from 3000 great ideas, only one became a successful innovation, i.e. with effect on market and society).
After previous successfully round tables Make innovation happen (PRIOCHEM 2022) and Innovation way – from wishful thinking to real-life applications (PRIOCHEM 2023) let us discuss, share best practice, lesson learned and even debate about how much innovation is a mystery and how much a systematic approach.

The integration of standardisation, knowledge valorization, and science diplomacy can significantly enhance the impact and global reach of research and innovation (R&I) efforts. This integration ensures that scientific and technological advancements are universally recognized, efficiently utilized, and contribute to international cooperation and policy-making.

The integrated approach proposed within the AquaMat project, starting from the construction of very sensitive miniaturized bioanalytical systems for the rapid screening of the presence of pollutants in the environment, combining the advantages of adsorption processes with those of advanced oxidation processes and nanoporous membrane systems for the advanced purification of sources of water, reducing the disadvantages specific to each type of process, will contribute both to scientific progress and to an important technological advance, constituting an absolutely original approach.

The main goal of the project is to propose a potential dental restorative material with simultaneous antibacterial properties and enhanced mechanical strength, based on substituted apatitic nanomaterials (decorated with metallic nanoparticles) and natural compounds, applicable in cement base (glass-ionomer cements). The solution developed in the research project will lead to a completion of the teeth treatment through the possibility of having antibacterial properties and slow release after the cavity is closed, with enhanced mechanical properties.

The aim of this event is to present preliminary results obtained at mid-term implementation of project ADER 17.1.2, with respect to the valorisation of side-streams from the food industry, by sustainable technologies, to obtain innovative food ingredients and food products which combine various vegetal and/or animal sources and which can contribute with nutrients that are not present in vegetal raw materials, reducing the need for supplementation with other nutritional ingredients and additives.

The project “Design of new nanocellulose-based gas-carrier systems” (CELGAS) addresses a topic of major interest in chronic wounds, especially in the case of aging population, suffering from diabetes or obesity. The use of nanocellulose-based oxygen-carrying systems is a new solution in the treatment of chronic wounds that prevents wound infection and increases cell viability.
