As young researchers navigating the world of catalysis, the path ahead is full of possibilities – industry, academia, startups – but it can also feel overwhelming. That’s why YEuCat is excited to host a new edition of the YEuCat Workshop, designed especially for PhD students and early-career researchers attending EuropaCat 2025.

In this workshop, we want to shed light on different career trajectories with testimonials from people who started just like us. Our panel of speakers includes:

• Dr. Nikolaos Tsakoumis, Research Scientist at SINTEF, and Dr. Liliana Lukashuk, Principal Scientist at Johnson Matthey, offering a perspective on industrial career paths
• Dr. Francesco Valentini from the startup co2ol catalyst, sharing insights into the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurial science
• Prof. Dr. Christoph Rameshan (Montanuniversität Leoben) and Dr. Bidyut Bikash Sarma (LCC-CNRS), who will talk about pursuing a career in research, applying for European funding, and boosting your academic journey
• Dr. Christopher Goodwin, beamline scientist at ALBA synchrotron, giving you insights into the synchrotron world and operando spectroscopy
• Dr. Sandra González Gallardo, Editor-in- Chief at Wiley for the journals Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis and ChemCatChem, giving tips to valorize our research and navigate the publication process.

This event will be an informal and inspiring conversation, where the speakers will share their experiences and will answer our questions. It’s also a great chance to connect with fellow researchers and meet the YEuCat community. Lunch will be provided and we will enjoy it together during the session. The workshop will be moderated by the YEucat board. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore, reflect and connect. Stay tuned!
