Using modern technologies and facilities, scientists unveiled the fingerprints of the chemicals in the interstellar medium down to stellar and planetary environments. High-sensitive and high-resolution telescopes like ALMA are providing amazing results by mapping the gas phase molecules down to the planetary scale. Further, JWST will complement chemical inventory by looking deep into the protoplanetary disk, planetary atmospheres, PDR, etc., and will investigate the ice compositions with a much deeper insight. Astrochemistry has now evolved as an emerging branch of many astrophysical fields, where molecules are used as a diagnostic tool to understand the physical and chemical properties of various astronomical objects. This webinar aims to bring together experimentalists, observers, and modelers to allow the astrochemical community to assemble and confer on recent accomplishments and upcoming challenges.
