Modern Concepts in Catalysis: From Science to Engineering - The South-West-German Catalysis Course (Südwestdeutscher Katalyse-Lehrverbund)

This year's course will take place in Bad Herrenalb from 16.09.2024 - 18.09.2024: The number of course participants is limited. If you are interested in the course, please contact Prof. Dr. Jan-Dierk Grunwaldt or any of the other organizers at TU Darmstadt (Prof. Dr. Marcus Rose), RPTU Kaiserslautern (Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kleist) or KIT.

 

General

Invitation

We invite you to the fourth launch of the South-West-German Catalysis Course. The course deals with different topics and aspects in catalysis using technically relevant examples. These include preparation, high throughput synthesis, modern characterization techniques, modelling & simulation and different reactor concepts. Topical subjects are synthesis chemistry, power-to-X, electrocatalysis, renewable raw materials and current industrial processes. The course is rounded off by insights into practical applications.

Who shall participate?

PhD and master students working or interested in the field of catalysis. The one week „intensive“ course and limited number of participants gives a unique chance to get in touch with other young scientists and industrial representatives within the field of catalysis. Don’t miss the chance to broaden your knowledge beyond your own field of research and to get connected with the catalysis community.   

Formalities

Accommodation will be paid by the corresponding institute (in case of master students please contact the responsible of the corresponding institution). All registered participants have received a questionnaire and and the program can be found further below.

Detailed Information on the earlier courses

The Southwest German Catalysis Catalysis Course was re-established in 2019 and took place for the first time from September 23-27, 2019 in the Seminarhotel Odenwald in Höchst-Hassenroth. The one-week intensive course with 24 participants and 17 lecturers (6 of them industry representatives) bridged the gap between current highlights in catalysis research with methodological focuses and contemporary industrial applications.
