18th International Congress on Catalysis

The French catalysis community is honored to host the 18th International Congress on Catalysis, which will be held in Lyon on July 14-19, 2024.

All French academic laboratories related to catalysis, along with the majority of the industrial companies will contribute to this successful event. The strong background of France continues today thanks to a young generation of talented scientists in all fields of catalysis. Based on these strong roots, the French community wishes to promote disruptive catalysis with the objective of building a better world. In a spirit of cross-fertilization between disciplines, worldwide societal challenges including the environment, energy, mobility, and the circular economy will be addressed through invited lectures and dedicated sessions in line with the main conference slogan “ROOTS AND WINGS FOR A BETTER WORLD”.

As captured by our secondary slogan “BUILD YOUR ICC!”, we would like to make the 18th ICC an opportunity for “participatory catalysis” by favoring interactions based on digital communication. Building a participatory ICC2024 is an early add-on prior to the conference.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Lyon!
