From October 23 to 25, 2026, cyclodextrin scientists from 26 Indian states and 15 countries gathered at the ISF College of Pharmacy in Moga, Punjab, India, for the 22nd International Cyclodextrin Symposium (ICS-22).
More than 800 abstracts were accepted for presentation across 12 scientific categories, providing many young researchers and students with an excellent opportunity to present their latest findings and broaden their knowledge.
The diverse scientific program of ICS-22 fostered interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthened partnerships between academia and industry. Participants gained valuable insights into contemporary research and emerging technologies related to this highly important family of macrocycles. The presentations highlighted the immense potential of cyclodextrins across a wide range of fields, including nanotechnology, materials science, AI-enabled research, pharmaceutical applications, analytical methods, and environmental protection.
The program also featured memorable evening performances, offering participants a glimpse into the richness and diversity of Indian culture.
Thanks to the outstanding efforts of the organizers, ICS-22 was a highly successful meeting that brought the international cyclodextrin research community closer together and helped shape the future of this exciting field.
The 23rd International Cyclodextrin Symposium will take place in Seville, Spain, in 2028.
