Scientific program

International Conferences “Mechanisms of Catalytic Reactions” have a status of a regular international conference devoted to challenging problems
of modern physical chemistry and catalysis. Topics of the IX Conference will be:

I. Catalysis: from first principles
II. Mechanisms of homogeneous catalysis
III. Mechanisms of heterogeneous catalysis
IV. Catalytic processing of renewables
V. Electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, biocatalysis

Almost 230 participants from 25 countries applied for the conference. The preliminary conference program includes 5 plenary lectures,  
9 key-note, 56 oral (20 min)  presentations,  23  oral  (10 min) presentations of young scientists and  more than 140 posters.

English will be the official language of the Conference.

PRESENTATION
The time of presentation (including some time for questions) is
40 min for a plenary lecture, 30 min for a keynote lecture, 20 and 10 min for an oral presentation.
Multi-media (LCD) projectors will be available. Organizers recommend the authors to prepare computer presentations
in *.ppt format (Microsoft Power Point from the package MS Office).

Space available for posters is 100 cm width x 100 cm height. The authors are requested to place their posters in the morning of October 23,  Tuesday,
and displace them at the end of the poster session.
