14th International Congress on Catalysis
Seoul, South Korea
July 13-18, 2008
The International Congress on Catalysis is held every four years and provides a platform for international participants to communicate accomplishments in catalysis research and technologies for the sustainable development of the future society. The conference covers innovations in catalyst design, reaction mechanisms, reaction engineering, sustainable green catalysis, and catalysis for industrial and other uses.
