The iCACGP-IGAC 2026 International Conference is organized jointly by the International Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution (iCACGP) and the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC).

The Conference welcomes presentation of recent and novel scientific findings and aims to stimulate interactions between researchers and foster innovation on topics related to Atmospheric Chemistry within the Earth System. Understanding past and projected changes, feedback mechanisms, processes and interactions in the atmospheric system as well as their impacts is critical for the sustainable development of our society. Technology development both in instrumentation and in numerical tools facilitates such understanding.

The Conference is scheduled to take place at the Cultural - Conference Center of Heraklion in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, from 6th to 11th September 2026.

Prior to the conference, the IGAC Early Career Short Course will take place from 4th to 6th September 2024. The IGAC Early Career Short Course has been an essential component of the conference since 2004, with a particular emphasis on early-career scientists and scientists from developing nations.

Crete, Greece, with its rich history, unparalleled natural beauty, and strategic location at the crossroads of three continents, and climatic conditions presents unparalleled opportunities for atmospheric research and field studies. The venue will provide an extraordinary environment stimulating scientific and cultural exchanges.
