We are glad to welcome you to the International School on Computational Catalysis, which will be held from June 10th to June 12th, in Modena, Italy, in the beautiful Complesso San Geminiano of Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia.
This initiative is endorsed by the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Division of Società Chimica Italiana, and co-organized by Dr. Vanda Glezakou from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA), to guarantee and provide worldwide visibility and international audience.
The School of Computational Catalysis offers advanced training for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists working at the interface of theory, computation, and catalysis. Our program provides a focused introduction to state-of-the-art methods—ranging from electronic-structure calculations and molecular simulations to microkinetic modeling and machine-learning tools for catalyst discovery.
Through lectures, tutorials, and discussions led by international experts, participants gain practical skills in applying computational techniques to real catalytic systems relevant to energy, sustainability, and chemical innovation.
We aim to build a collaborative community of researchers equipped to advance the frontiers of catalytic science through rigorous, data-driven approaches.
We are really looking forward seeing you soon in Modena!
With Best regards
Giovanni Di Liberto
