EuropaCat 2025 - 16th European Congress on Catalysis
Welcome to Trondheim and EuropaCat 2025!
It is with pride and excitement that we invite you to EuropaCat 2025 in Trondheim, Norway. This will be the 16th European Congress on Catalysis under the auspices of the European Federation of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS) and organized as a joint effort of the Nordic Catalysis Societies.
Trondheim is easy to reach and safe, with beautiful natural surroundings and a Viking history. It is a lively, urban university town, small enough to make logistics very easy for the conference participants. We will create a vibrant catalysis hub on its seaside, with easy access from airport and public communication and plenty of different hotels nearby.
And we urge you to join and bring excellent science, hard work, bright ideas, successful catalyst development, innovative solutions and an open mind. It is clear that mastering “the force” of catalysis will be of outmost importance to the resource and environmental challenges that lie ahead for humanity.
