Catalysis: from Science to Industry

October 23-27, 2016

We are glad to invite you to participate in the 4rd International School-Conference for Young Scientists in memory of Prof. Kurina L.N. “Catalysis: from Science to Industry” to be held on October 23-27, 2016 on the basis of Tomsk State University, Tomsk, Russia.

The IV School-Conference for Young Scientists is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Larisa Nikolaevna Kurina, D.Sc., who was a renowned science and education worker. Larisa Nikolaevna, being at the origin of Laboratory of Catalytic Research, was an outstanding teacher and scientist, always treated with deep respect by students, postgraduates and colleagues.

The theme of the conference covers modern tendencies in the field of fundamental and applied catalysis, featuring the basics of catalyst рreparation and production, mechanisms, kinetics and modeling of chemical reactions, promising catalytic processes and application of catalytic processes in industry.

Young scientists will be given a great opportunity to become familiar with research works of leading scientists, present and discuss their research results, define promising trends of scientific research, and establish collaborative relations.

The scientific program of the school-conference will consist of plenary (40 min) and keynote (25 min) lectures of leading scientists, oral (10 min) and poster presentations of young scientists.

The scope of the school conference:

Section 1. Catalyst preparation

  • Scientific fundamentals of catalyst preparation

  • Novel catalytic materials (micro- and mesoporous materials, hybrid materials, MOFs)

  • Modern tendencies in development of catalyst preparation methods

Section 2. Promising catalytic processes

  • Processing of oil and natural gas

  • Fine organic synthesis

  • Environmental protection. Photocatalysis

  • Energy saving and processing of renewable feedstocks. Fuel cells, electrocatalysis

Section 3. Research methods in catalysis

  • Theoretical modeling of catalytic processes

  • Modern research methods in catalysis. In situ and operando research
