The organizers welcome all university and industry researchers working in the broad field of catalysis to attend the 14th Nordic Symposium on Catalysis, August 29-31, 2010 in Helsingør, Denmark.
The symposium is organized by the Technical University of Denmark, Aarhus University, Haldor Topsøe A/S and The Society of Danish Chemical Engineers.
The conference will feature two parallel oral sessions and poster sessions covering topics ranging from industrial catalysis and biocatalysis to fundamental studies of catalysts and mechanisms. The conference language will be English.
Confirmed invited speakers are:
Jim Dumesic (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA)
Bob Madix (Harvard University, USA)
Wolfgang Kroutil (Karl-Franzens University, Graz, Austria)
James A. Dumesic (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA)
Robert J. Madix (Harvard University, USA)
Wolfgang Kroutil (Karl-Franzens University, Graz, Austria)
Berzelius Lecture
Prize awarded by the Swedish Catalysis Society (sponsored by Perstorp Formox AB).
Information for Presenters
Poster boards will be 200 cm high and 100 cm wide. Posters must be put up using needles in due time before the poster session on the numbered boards. Posters from the Sunday evening session must be taken down before the poster session on Monday. Poster sessions are to the right in the Marienlyst Hall.
A PC with powerpoint 2003 and Acrobat reader and a laser pointer will be available in the lecture halls. Presentations must be loaded to the PC before the session or run from a stick.
Oral Presentations
- Ordinary presentations must last no longer than 20 min
- Nordic Lectures must last no longer than 30 min
- Plenary Lectures must last no longer than 40 min
Each of the presentations will be followed by a 5 min period for questions and shift of presenter.
Poster awards
An award will be given for the best poster at the Sunday and Monday poster sessions respectively, based on votes from the conference participants. The awards will be handed out Tuesday afternoon at the farewell session.
