Conference Description
The Catalysis GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
Looking ahead, catalysis stands at the forefront of innovation in addressing global challenges associated with energy solutions and chemical manufacturing which are closely tied to population growth and economic development. As catalytic science evolves, it will drive the development of next-generation technologies for the efficient production of energy, chemicals, and fuels. The 2026 Catalysis GRC will delve into the emerging trends and applications in catalysis, highlighting transformative research in both fundamental catalytic principles and their applications. By bringing together leaders from academia, industry, and national laboratories, this conference will serve as a vital platform to identify critical scientific needs, accelerate innovation, and chart a collective vision for the next era of catalysis.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by September 24, 2025. Please check back for updates.
