ICAT International Symposium on Catalysis 2023:


Novel theoretical and experimental approaches for designing homogeneous catalysis


Date: July 18th 2:00 p.m. - July 19th 12:00 p.m. (JST)

Venue: Conference Room on the 5th floor of the ICAT, Hokkaido University    


The objective of this symposium is to design novel catalysts and to understand their catalysis. Eight invited lectures will be given and mainly about original experimental and theoretical studies on homogeneous catalysts. We anticipate these lectures will have a strong impact on a wide range of research fields of catalysis. Therefore, a poster session will be conducted to encourage discussion among different research fields of experimental and theoretical studies on homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts.

Thank you very much for your excellent contributions!
