The fifth conference follows the concept of the past four conferences, hoping to stimulate closer ties between academia and industry. This conference should greatly contribute to the promotion of new concepts and approaches for the development of useful catalytic systems.

Papers on the following topics are welcome.

For the general session

• New concepts for catalysis
• Advanced materials for catalysis
• Environmental catalysis
• Green catalysis
• Catalysis in energy conversion
• Catalysis for fuel cell
• Biocatalysis
• Natural gas conversion
• Photocatalysis
• Solid acids and bases
• Selective oxidation
• Organometallic catalysis
• Structured catalysts
• Membrane- and micro-reactors

For the industrial session

• Introduction of newly developed and/or commercialized industrial catalysts and processes since 2001
• Environmental protection
• Petroleum refining and petrochemicals
• Fine and chiral synthesis
• Polymerization
