SolvATE is a French research network, funded by the Chemistry Institute of the CNRS since 2018, gathering about forty laboratories who share an interest in understanding solvation at a molecular level.

The activities of the SolvATE GDR are structured around three main topics:

• Solvents for sustainable chemistry
• Solvation, interfaces and nanoconfined environments
• Solvation in systems of interest to biology, pharmaceutical chemistry and food industry

The SolvATE2025 scientific days will be held on 13 and 14 October 2025 at Aix-Marseille Université - Campus St Charles.

Scientific programme: see the programme tab.

Monday evening dinner:  The conference dinner will not be covered financially.
