24th National Symposium on Catalysis (CATSYMP-24)

“Catalysis for Sustainable Chemicals, Materials & Energy’’

(CSCME-2025)
24-26 February 2025

Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Catalysis Society of India (CSI)

About the Symposium:

Chemistry, in general, remains the propeller to the growth and progress of humanity over the ages. Catalysis, specifically, solved the major challenges faced by civilization, such as food security, the production of cleaner fuel, addressing the issues related to environmental pollution, etc. However, the issue of global warming, setting up carbon-neutral manufacturing industries, and production of cleaner (zero emission) fuel are yet to be addressed. In this scenario, the symposium aims to bring together scientists working in the diverse fields of catalysis to facilitate the exchange of ideas and discuss recent advancements in catalysis research to propose solutions to these issues. The symposium will provide a platform for the researcher and students to deliberate on a clear vision and roadmap for the fundamental and technological breakthroughs in research and development of catalysis in achieving carbon neutrality for a sustainable future. The symposium will serve as an opportunity for peers to gain fresh outlooks on conference topics, discover new prospects for professional development, and identify collaborations and networking for future research. Presentations during the symposium include cutting-edge research, case studies, and applications, contributing valuable acumen for seasoned and emerging professionals.

The event will also mark the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Catalysis Society of India (CSI).

Aligned with India’s National Missions

Catalysis Society of India:

The Catalysis Society of India was founded in March 1973 at Banaras with Prof. S.K. Bhattacharyya as the president and Prof. J.C. Kuriacose as the secretary. The main objectives of the CSI are to encourage catalysis research in India, to organize professional meetings between researchers, to enhance mutual interactions, and to encourage cooperation between industry and academia. During the last three decades, the catalysis community in India has made significant strides both in applied and fundamental research. Many catalysts and processes have been developed and commercialized.
