Welcome
On behalf of the Tunisian Chemical Society we have the immense pleasure to invite you for attending the Duo Conference that will group jointly the Organic Chemistry Conference and the Science & Engineering of Polymeric Materials (OCC & SEPM 2023). This big event will be held from May 10-14, 2023 at the Blue Marine Hotel (former Laico) at Yasmin Hammamet in Tunisia.
Renowned speakers have already accepted to attend OCC & SEPM 2023 and the organizing committees warmly thank them for accepting to share their recent work.
This Duo Conference will be an opportunity to bring polymer and organic chemistry scientists from academic or industrial fields to present their recent work in an interdisciplinary atmosphere and to establish an interesting network. 
We would be delighted to welcome you to this event and at the same time we kindly ask you to share this information with your colleagues who may be interested in attending. This will surely make this event a success.
OCC & SEPM 2023 will take place in one of the most beautiful coastal regions of Tunisia and we do hope will be an inspiring venue for all delegates.
Looking forward to meeting you at OCC & SEPM 2023.

Hammamet in a few words
Thanks to its beaches it is a popular destination for swimming and water sports, Hammamet is one of the most popular tourism attractions in Tunisia. This town used to be a small fishing town, and was redone to bring in tourists, making it unique from most of Tunisia. It is the first tourist destination in Tunisia. It is located in the south east of the northern peninsula of Cap Bon in the Governorate of Nabeul, on the northern edge of the Gulf of Hammamet.
One of the first things that you will notice in Hammamet is that the entire town is mixed into a huge garden. Oranges, lemons and other citrus trees grow here, as well as olive groves. There is so much plant life in Hammamet that many people call it the “garden resort”. Hammamet is an incredibly relaxing environment, with its white sandy beaches and quiet atmosphere.
The reported number of inhabitants varies from 100,000 to 300,000 and the population quadruples due to tourists' arrival in the summer.
It is particularly known for jasmine, and this is how the tourist resort of Yasmine Hammamet got its name. All over Hammamet, souvenirs made of jasmine can be found.
