The main goal of the symposium is to provide an opportunity for scientists to meet and discuss recent developments in catalysis, especially all fields of heterogeneous catalysis related to innovative and current topics, with emphasis on the latest developments and relation to everyday life. Multidisciplinary topics with related fields, such as theoretical chemistry, chemical engineering, and physics, will be strongly encouraged. High-level scientific contributions including basic research and industrial requirements will be particularly appreciated. The forthcoming conference will concentrate chiefly on problems of environmental protection (air and wastewaters), petrochemistry (C1-C3 paraffin activation, clean hydrogen production, CO2 utilization), Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and photocatalysis.
