World Chemistry Forum 2019 (WCF 2019) was grandly held at the Catalonia Barcelona Hotel during May 22-24, 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. The conference is hosted by International Science and Technology Conference Institute (ISTCI) and operated by Four Leaf Clover Co., Ltd. (FLC Event).

The opening ceremony was hosted by Dr. Michael Stockenhuber, Professor of The University of Newcastle, Australia and the President of the Australian Catalysis Society. Dr. Gabor A. Somorjai, Member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, winner of Wolf Prize in Chemistryin 1998, and Professor of University of California at Berkeley, USA addressed a important speech at the opening ceremony.

Also there are Dr. Ulrike Diebold, Professor of Technical University of Vienna, Austria and Member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Hong He, Professor of Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Dr. Francesc Illas, Professor of University of Barcelona, Spain and Member of the European Academy of Sciences. Dr. Brian Cantor, Vice-Chancellor, University of Bradford, UK. Dr. Hans-Peter Steinrück, Professor of University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany and Member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. Dr. Christof Woll, Professor and Director of Institute for Functional Interfaces, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany and Member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. Dr. Shengming Ma, Professor of State Key Laboratory of Organometallic Chemistry, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, CAS, China and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. And Dr. Ulrich Mueller, Senior Vice President of Executive Expert Zeolite Catalysis, BASF SE, Germany.

The topics of this conference are mainly in the three directions of analytical chemistry, nano-science and catalysis. There are two plenary sessions, 24 parallel breakouts, Chinese chemists' Forum, posters, table tops and welcome reception banquet, etc., various and colorful events. through 3 days program, 200 speakers gave oral presentations on their recent work and shared their new achievements with all the participants. There have been 280 attendees from 20+Countries and areas to join this grand event.

The forum was aiming to provide a good opportunity for the current science and technology exchanges in Chemistry research. It attracted a field of great interest in Analytic chemistry, Nano chemistry and Catalysis. We believe that this forum will promote technological progress in the field of chemistry and will play a positive role.

The International Congress on Advanced Materials Sciences and Engineering (AMSE-2019) took place 22 -24 July 2019 in Osaka, Japan.

The congress was run under the auspices of ISTCI and operated by Four Leaf Clover Event. A total of approx. 500 participants from 22 Nations attended the conference in Osaka.

AMSE-2019 in accordance with the current problems observed with future life change, put a strong focus material R & D in our future life; while a second major topic was associated to Nano Material as one of the future advanced materials. The program was structured in 22 parallel sessions to give room for the 313 contributions that were selected by the Scientific Advisory Committee for oral presentations in the fields of: Semiconductor and Superconductor Materials, Electronic Materials and Device, Optical Materials, Magnetic Materials, Information Materials, Smart Materials and Structure, Artificial Intelligence, Nano Materials, Materials and Energy, Biomaterials and Bio-engineering, Polymer Materials, Composites Materials, Structural Materials, Carbon and Graphene, Environment and Green Materials, Metals and Metallurgy and Alloy, Physical Behavior of Materials and Surface Science, Design, Modeling, Fabrication, Processing and Synthesis of Materials, Chemical Analysis of Materials, Materials, Mechanical, and Manufacturing, 3D, 4D Printing Materials, Advanced Materials Application in Architecture and Civil Engineering.

The Keynote Forum
AMSE- 2019 was opened by keynote speakers Nigel Brandon, Raymond Oliver, Suong Van Hoa, Alan Kin Tak Lau, Huiling Duan and A. P. S. Selvadurai who showed us how the future materials look like. Technology has forever changed how we process and interact with knowledge. What are the challenges and opportunities ahead of us? The six experts examined the implications of tomorrow’s tech and looked at how we can ensure that material changes and works for our life.

The Keynote Forum was always a highlight of the programme, it didn’t disappoint with a lively discussion of a controversial motion: Future material Could, Should and Will Replace the current one. What the future battery will be used for our life and how does it work? Dr. Nigel Brandon, Director of UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Supergen Hub gave us this answer.

The Parallel Sessions
22 Parallel Sessions surprised us deeply.  Dr. Tilak Dias, from Nottingham Trent University, he and his team invented a smart textile which enable clothes to charge mobile phones and smart watches. Dr. Tao Zhang from Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences delivered a presentation with title of “Efficient Quantum Dots Anchored Nanocomposite for Highly Active ORR/OER Electrocatalyst of Advanced Metal-Air Batteries”, which showed us that the air also generates electricity. All the attendees were very glad to listen the topics at parallel sessions.

Young Scientists Forum
The event is an open forum specifically dedicated for young investigators (i.e. students, PhD candidates and early stage post docs) working in all fields in the broader area of advanced material. This forum was not only discussed state-of-the-art science to broaden the scientific knowledge of the participants but allow the young researchers to benefit as well from several specifically designed interactive sessions to advance their own career/ research. In particular, the forum aimed to foster the spirit of teamwork among the participants, providing the opportunity to network globally and to establish own professional networks. This forum also attracted more keynoters to listen to the future scientists. https://www.istci.org/icamse2019/
