When: 10 – 12 March 2025
Where: University of Leeds
Computational modelling at the molecular level is now widely used in all areas of catalytic science. Modelling tools allow us to develop a detailed understanding of catalysis at the molecular level, including structural and mechanistic aspects. Calculations can be used to show how changes in composition and structure lead to changes in product distribution. Computational chemistry tools are used to guide and interpret experiment and have a growing predictive role; they are also increasingly linked to modelling at different scales.
This workshop will bring together computational catalytic scientists working in different areas of catalytic science and using a range of techniques, with experimentalists working in materials characterisation and catalytic testing. It will provide a forum to review and discuss technical developments and experimental challenges. The aim of the meeting is to promote interactions and collaborations between both computational catalytic scientists and between computation and experiment.
The meeting will be hosted by the University of Leeds from 10th – 12th March 2025, starting at midday on Monday the 10th. Registration and abstract submission will open shortly. The Conference will include a poster session (day 1) and conference dinner (day 2) and registration will be £50.
The meeting will have 4 thematic sessions
- Catalysis for C1 Chemistry: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Methanol
- Catalysis for Nitrogen Chemistry
- Experimental Characterisation of Catalytic Materials, Catalytic Testing and Kinetics
and - Applications of Microporous Materials in Catalysis.
