This two-day event on applied catalysis and reaction engineering is a PhD and early career researchers focused event. The event will bring together the UK’s research community in these important areas of science and engineering.

Presentations will be given by eminent keynote speakers from both academia and industry, as well as young researchers in the area. A poster and lecture competition will be held and important networking opportunities will be provided throughout the event.

The registration fee will include accommodation and the evening dinner on 19 April 2012.

The conference is organised jointly by IChemE’s Catalysis Special Interest Group and Royal Society of Chemistry’s Applied Catalysis subject group.
