Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The past five years have presented challenges to all ICS community members in multiple ways. Many of our veterans have experienced losses, grief, and stress, and many are still on active duty in the army. Yet, we find it essential to continue the ICS tradition and provide an opportunity for the regathering of all Israeli chemists.

We will hold the 89th ICS Annual Meeting and Exhibition on February 10-11, 2026, at the Smolarz Auditorium in Tel-Aviv University.

The scientific program will include plenary and invited lectures, parallel lectures, two poster sessions, and an exhibition. The ICS Prize Ceremony, scheduled for the evening of February 10th, will recognize the ICS laureates of 2025. We adjusted the program to utilize the venue optimally, with many events occurring in the plenary hall.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee at Tel-Aviv University, we look forward to your participation in the 89th Meeting.

Professors Yuval Ebenstein and Roey Amir, co-chairs
Prof. Ehud Keinan, ICS President
