The International Symposium on Carbon for CATALYSIS is a biennial event whose 9th edition was held in Zaragoza (Spain) in 2022 at the Paraninfo building of the local University. The Italian CARBOCAT issue will be organized in Florence, in the historical frame of the San Frediano quarter at a walking distance from all main monuments of the renaissance capital. It will be held at the Innovation Center Auditorium of the Ente Cassa di Risparmio Foundation and it will take place under the joint auspices of the National Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology (INSTM) and the Italian National Research Council (CNR). The Florentine symposium will therefore be the tenth of a prestigious series of international events devoted to fundamental advances of C-based materials in catalysis which started in Lausanne in 2004 and then continued in Saint-Petersburg (2006), Berlin (2008), Dalian (2010), Brixen (2012), Trondheim (2014), Strasbourg (2016), Porto (2018) and finally Zaragoza in 2022.
Following the CARBOCAT tradition and its outstanding reputation within the scientific community, the organizers aim to bring together world’s leading scientists working at the forefront of challenging topics related to the use of C-based materials in CATALYSIS. The face-to-face conference will be scheduled during three days as a single-session, covering up to 8 different thematic topics. The scientific program will include 3 Plenary Lecturers, 6 Keynote Lecturers and more than 30 oral communications other than a single POSTER session.
The organizers are eager to welcome you and your co-workers for a stimulating 3-days scientific event where you’ll be able to share your experience with renowned international experts in the area of Carbon for Catalysis and start new collaborative networks at the shade of unique historical monuments, architectures and the Chianti hills where Dante Alighieri, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Brunelleschi worked and lived. Great food and wine will complete and improve your Italian CARBOCAT experience.
