>> Nowadays, the chemical processes should be developed following the Green Chemistry principles which are but one facet of the broad issue of sustainability. Solving this issue requires bringing together, other than core knowledge in Catalysis, the expertise from Physical and Surface Chemistry, Nano- & micro-technology, Material Science and Chemical Engineering.
>> The presentations will focus on the multi-scale aspects of catalytic systems. Heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio-catalysis will be approached in the same way, going all the way from molecular insight to the choice of the reactor.Scientific Programme | |
