General info

RCCT ("Russian Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics", or "International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics in Russia") is one of the most significant scientific events in Russia. Its history can be traced back to the "All-Union Conference on Calorimetry", which was held every two to three years between 1961 and 1977. In 1979 the conference was renamed as the "All-Union Conference on Calorimetry and Chemical Thermodynamics" and was held regularly under this name until 1991. After a long hiatus, the tradition of organizing the meetings on chemical thermodynamics was revived in 2002 with the first "International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics in Russia" in Saint Petersburg. Since then, the RCCT International Conferences have been held biannually in large scientific centers of Russia, including Moscow (2005, 2013), Saint Petersburg (2002, 2019), Ivanovo (2007, 2024), Kazan (2009, 2022), Samara (2011), Nizhny Novgorod (2015), and Novosibirsk (2017).

Every RCCT is uniquely important for the international thermodynamic community. The conference traditionally covers all aspects of chemical thermodynamics and provides the platform for discussing the cutting-edge achivements in this scientific field. In 2026, Ural Federal University in Ekaterinburg will be the host of the XXV International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics in Russia (RCCT-2026).

RCCT-2026 is organized by:

• Ural Federal University
• Kurnakov Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry
• Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation
• Russian Academy of Sciences
• Mendeleev Russian Chemical Society
• Scientific Council on Physical Chemistry RAS
