On 28–29 September, SUCCeSS and WISE invited researchers and experts from academia and industry to a workshop focusing on circular materials and sustainable chemistry.

A new article published in Chem explores the backstory of the Stockholm Declaration on Chemistry for the Future, released on 23 May 2025 at the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm.

Developed by the Mistra programme SafeChem, this course provides an introduction to safety and sustainability in the innovation process for new chemicals and materials.

SUCCeSS was proud to sponsor the Gordon Research Conference on Lignin, held in Lucca, Italy, in May 2026. The conference brought together leading researchers from around the world to discuss the latest advances in lignin science, plant biology, and biotechnology.

Almost one year ago, world-leading scientists, educators, and Nobel laureates gathered in Sweden during our Nobel Symposium to sign the Stockholm Declaration on Sustainability and the Future. Spearheaded by one of the pioneers of green chemistry, Professor Paul Anastas, the declaration was created to address some of the most pressing challenges facing chemistry and society, including issues related to industry, education, and policy.

It has almost been one year since the Stockholm Declaration on Chemistry for the Future was launched, and it has already grown into a global community of thousands signatories committed to transforming chemistry for sustainable innovation, education, policy, and practice.

Join us as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Stockholm Declaration – an initiative that has brought together some of the world’s leading scientists to redefine chemistry from a sustainability perspective.

Watch the recorded lunch webinar from 7 May where Dr. Mikhail Agrachev and Prajakta Manal presented research on the use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to investigate complex biological polymers and reaction mechanisms.
From May 5–7, Rana Mostaghel from SUCCeSS participated in the Nordic–Austrian Circular Futures Exchange 2026 in Graz, a Nordic-Austrian initiative focused on sustainable, climate-resilient cities and the circular economy. The programme brought together researchers, companies, public-sector representatives, and innovation leaders from across the Nordic region and Austria for several days of knowledge exchange and networking.

Javier García-Martínez approaches chemistry as something far larger than a scientific discipline. With a career spanning academia, entrepreneurship, and international scientific leadership, he has consistently worked at the intersection of catalysis, sustainability, and responsible innovation. Whether developing advanced materials, building companies, or shaping international frameworks, his focus remains the same: ensuring that chemistry delivers tangible value for society.

Having recently returned from parental leave, Sayad takes over as SUCCeSS coordinator.
