Watch Now – UK Catalysis Hub Winter Conference 2022
When: 29 & 30 November 2022
Where: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Fermi Avenue, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0QX
On the 29th & 30th of November 2022 the UK Catalysis Hub held its annual winter conference and networking meeting. The Conference took place at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire.
The conference began at lunchtime on the 29th with lectures, the JMT medal presentation, a poster session in the evening of the 29th November and dinner by invitation.
The Conference also included memorial sessions for Sir John Meurig Thomas, a distinguished professor in the field of catalysis who sadly passed away in 2020. He was a remarkable man and one of the most eminent figures in catalytic science in the past 100 years, who was a pioneer in many of the techniques and concepts that have now become standard in the field. He was generous with his time and support for the UK Catalysis Hub and its events and the Hub is proud to have established 2016 an annual award in honour of his achievements and this session also included the presentation of the JMT medal for Catalysis to Prof. Stuart Taylor (Cardiff).
Speakers at the UK Catalysis Hub winter conference included researchers from the Catalysis Hub, internationally renowned speakers and industrialists covering a range of topics in catalysis. Watch recordings of presentations from the conference.
