Dear colleagues, dear friends,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of IHSS 2024, we would like to heartfeltly welcome you to the 22nd International Conference of the International Humic Substances Society.
The IHSS2024 Conference will be held on August 25-30, 2024, in the city of Rimini, located in a wonderful region of the Northern Italy where natural, historical and cultural patrimonies characterize a unique and unforgettable atmosphere.
The Conference is organized by the Italian Chapter of the IHSS, with the contribution of several colleagues and collaborators, and it will be held at the Rimini Convention Center, a professional and very modern venue.
The scientific structure of the IHSS2024 Conference includes various fields of interest of our community, declined and oriented towards the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nation Agenda 2030, with the purpose of contributing to accelerate and complete the expected achievements. Topics like the impact of climate changes on terrestrial and aquatic natural resources, the chemical and biological transformation of pollutants in the environment, the bio waste recycling and management, together with novel scientific and technical frontiers will appear in the scientific programme. Further, a large space will be devoted to the commercial aspects of natural organic matter and to the growing connections between scientists and private companies.
It is a great pleasure to organize this event on behalf of our international community and partnerships and to host researchers, professionals, students coming from academy, research institutions and companies worldwide and to create a stimulating and exciting atmosphere for sharing the results of their scientific activities.
