Events

The 3rd Summer School “Catalysis: from understanding to applications” integrating heterogeneous, homogeneous and enzymatic catalysis, will be held at IMT Mines Albi (Albi city, France) during June 17-21, 2024.

The objective of this Summer School is to present catalysis as a tool of preference for the development of sustainable processes, respectful to the environment. Catalysis is indeed at the heart of Green Chemistry: atom economy, selectivity and energy economy, transformation of raw materials into targeted products. The rational optimization of the efficiency of a catalyst requires a thorough knowledge of the reaction mechanism, in order to better identify the action levers. Nowadays, a wide range of techniques and methodologies, both experimental and theoretical, allows carrying out detailed mechanistic studies, essential in order to choose the most suitable approach for a specific problem.

More information

Organized by Catalysis@Toulouse group, this Summer School is particularly dedicated to PhD students, Post-docs, Master students, but also to academic and industrial engineers and researchers.

Online registrations will be open on March 01st, 2024. For more information, please visit: https://schoolcat2024.sciencesconf.org

Please be aware that the number of participants will be limited and the selection will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
