On behalf of the Organizers and the Scientific Committee, we invite you to the 8th Diffusive Gradient in Thin-Films Conference (DGT2025), to be held at the Grand Gongda Jianguo Hotel on the main campus of Beijing University of Technology (BJUT), Beijing, China. This conference will take place from Friday, 19th September, to Sunday, 21st September 2025.

DGT Conference 2025 will bring together scientists and research students from various environmental science disciplines, spanning from aquatic chemistry, sediment biogeochemistry and chemical monitoring to soil science, rhizosphere research and agronomy. Since its invention, DGT associated with techniques, has evolved into a highly versatile tool to study solutes in a multitude of environments. The success of the technique is based on its simple, but very well-defined sampling strategy and a highly innovative and dedicated group of developers and users. While focusing on recent research in DGT traditional areas of strength, including inorganic elements and nutrient salts, a special aim of DGT2025 is to provide an opportunity to promote and to advance DGT research on organic pollutants.
