Reminder and Update - EuroCombiCat 2009

Monday, 26. January 2009

The deadline for abstract submission has been extended until 31 January 2009.

The DECHEMA would like to take the opportunity to provide you with the latest information on the EuroCombiCat 2009, the European Conference on Combinatorial Catalysis Research and High-Throughput Technologies, to be held at the Hotel Bayren in Gandia, Spain, from 26th to 29th April 2009.

The programme will include presentations from several prestigious speakers, including:

Avelino Corma, Valencia, Spain
"Knowledge-based HT materials synthesis and testing for catalysts discovery"

Jens K. Norskov, Lingby, Denmark
"Computational screening for new catalysts"

Johan Paul, Zwijnaarde, Belgium
"Use of high-throughput techniques for the development of thin functional coatings"

Ulrich S. Schubert, Jena, Germany
"High-output experimentation in polymerization catalysis"

Jose M. Serra, Valencia, Spain
"Optimizing solid oxide fuel cell performances by combinatorial designs"

Bertrand Pavageau, Pessac, France
"High-throughput synthesis and characterization of nanostructured catalysts"

Oliver Trapp, Heidelberg, Germany
"High-throughput screening of NHC-ligands in catalysis"

Stephan Schunk, Heidelberg, Germany

There are still slots for oral presentations and posters available. Extended abstracts (2 pages) for review by the Scientific Committee can be submitted within any of the following areas:

  • Hardware and methodology development
  • Data management and information technologies
  • Academic case studies in catalysis and separation

    • heterogeneous catalysis
    • homogeneous catalysis
    • biocatalysis
    • polymerisation catalysis

  • Industrial case studies and success stories
  • Scale-up to manufactured products and industrial processes

The deadline for abstract submission has been extended until 31 January 2009.

The conference will also feature an exhibition of service and product providers in the area of High-Throughput Technology.
