Who We Are
Who We Are
The Irish Catalysis Society is composed of both recent and veteran academics from universities and research centres across Ireland whose research focuses on or is adjacent to the field of catalysis. Researchers active in the society span subfields such as thermal-catalysis, electro-catalysis, photo-catalysis, bio-catalysis and computational catalysis, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary cross-fertilisation across the island.
Why We're Here
Why We're Here
The Irish Catalysis Society aims to promote catalysis research, education, and industrial applications across Ireland. Continuous activities such as conferences and seminars offer fertile grounds for fostering collaboration, peer-support and 'catalysing' new research directions and ideas. Representation in international forums such as the International Congress on Catalysis (ICC), European Congress on Catalysis (EuropaCat) and North American Catalysis Society meetings (NAM) further offers opportunities to promote the Irish catalysis research and establish international research collaborations.

Where We Started
Where We Started
The Irish Catalysis Society was spun out of the Surface Reactivity & Catalysis Group at the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1999 by Prof. Julian Ross (University of Limerick) and Prof. Joseph Cunningham (University College Cork). Following its establishment, the society bid for and was awarded the honour of hosting the EuropaCat V congress at the University of Limerick in 2001, attracting over 1,000 participants. Under the umbrella of the Institute of Chemistry of Ireland, the society has represented the Irish catalysis research community in the European Association of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS) ever since.
