10^th Congress on Catalysis Applied to Fine Chemicals

June 16-19, 2013,Turku/Åbo, Finland

The congress is devoted to the application of any type of catalyst (homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic) to the synthesis of fine chemicals, with special emphasis on the selectivity issues. The aim is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry, working in the synthesis of fine chemicals with various catalysts, to share their expertise in the field as a way to open new collaborations that help to solve the forthcoming problems in the chemical industry, and to implement more sustainable synthetic methods based on catalytic processes.

Advances in Catalysis for Biomass Valorization 

July 8 - 11, 2012
Thessaloniki (Greece)

The CAT4BIO conference on "Advances in Catalysis for Biomass Valorization" will be organized  by the Greek Catalysis Society.
The goal is to cover fundamental and applied catalysis in biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals, new trends and advances in catalytic materials (synthesis, characterization), as well as mechanistic insights and engineering aspects in novel biomass conversion processes.
