The Royal Society of Chemistry’s flagship event for the RSC Materials Chemistry Community, the 17th International Conference on Materials Chemistry, was held in Edinburgh from 7 – 10 July 2025. With a record number of delegates (600!), 150 speakers and over 400 posters, the engagement of the speakers and delegates was immense and the quality of research presented was truly excellent. Royal Society of Chemistry journals; Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Journal of Materials Chemistry B, Materials Advances, Dalton Transactions, RSC Sustainability, Biomaterials Science, Nanoscale, Nanoscale Advances and Nanoscale Horizons, were delighted to sponsor the best poster awards. With the enormous number of quality posters, the decision to select the winners by our poster judging panels was a difficult one. Please join us in congratulating the poster prize winners of MC-17!
