ACENET ERA-NET - Europe strengthens catalysis

The European Commission ERA-NET on Applied Catalysis (ACENET) has been granted with 2.7 millions euro. The Dutch NWO coordinates this ERA-NET. On October 26th, the kick-off meeting was held in Oegstgeest (The Netherlands). ACENET aims to promote research funds (national and supra-national) in the field of applied catalysis. Ten funding organizations of nine European countries will aim at cooperating among their research programs on these topics. Further information can be found in:
