Conference: Innovating Through Chemistry to Address the PFAS Challenge
Thursday, April 9, 2026
Maison de la Chimie – Paris
Free event (registration required)

EuraMaterials encourages you to attend the PFAS Symposium, a day of scientific and industrial dialogue focused on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) —molecules that are ubiquitous across many sectors but have become a major concern for health and the environment.

Purpose of the event

This conference brings together France's leading experts in the field to discuss:

• the industrial significance of PFAS and their applications,
• their challenges regarding toxicity, mobility, and persistence,
• options for substitution, in-house synthesis, and waste disposal

A unique opportunity to learn how chemistry can address societal challenges related to PFAS and to discuss innovative solutions with experts from academia and industry.

Flagship Program
