The International Conference on Algae and Sustainability 2026 (ALGS 2026) has developed from the highly successful International Conference on Algal Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts. By broadening the conference scope, we aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, address global sustainability challenges, and highlight innovative solutions that leverage algal research for a more sustainable future.

The conference will focus on exploring the latest research frontiers, innovative applications, and practical solutions that leverage algae to address global sustainability challenges.

The scope encompasses the entire value chain of algae research and utilization, from fundamental biological studies to cutting-edge technological developments and industrial implementations.

The conference will also emphasize cross-disciplinary collaboration and international cooperation to accelerate the translation of algal research into real-world sustainable practices, fostering a greener and more sustainable future through the power of algae.

Oral and poster abstracts are invited on the following topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system https://www.elsevier.com/events/conferences/all/international-conference-on-algae-and-sustainability/participate#0-submit-abstract
