European Forum for Engineering and Catalysis Towards Sustainability (effects)

In September 2026, the second edition of the European Forum for Engineering and Catalysis Towards Sustainability (effects) will be organized as an official YEuCat event, endorsed by the European Federation of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS). It is organized under the auspices of the Italian Association of Chemical Engineering (AIDIC) and the Group of Catalysis (GIC) of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI). The focus of the forum will be an interactive and interdisciplinary discussion on the role of catalysis and reaction engineering in the current push towards the energy transition and a more sustainable chemical industry.  Participants will also engage in teamwork activities where they will be trained in the tools and strategies needed to develop and pitch a competitive research proposal in the field of catalysis. To also include the perspective of major players in the industrial sector, a site visit to a company is currently under organization and may be included in the program.
