Finnish Young Scientist Forum for Catalysis


Friday, March 24 2017 at Nikolainkulma Jyväskylä

Welcome
Finnish Catalysis Society is organizing the second Finnish Young Scientist Forum for Catalysis. The goal of the symposium is to present on-going and recently finished PhD thesis works in catalysis and to promote interaction between key players in catalysis in Finland. Contributions from all sub-fields are warmly welcome: homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic, polymer, electro- and photocatalysis. Presentations will cover topics from theoretical chemistry to material science and chemical engineering. The symposium program consists of one keynote lecture and oral presentations of the PhD students.
The annual meeting of Finnish Catalysis Society will take place after the symposium. All PhD students, their supervisors and other researchers in the field of catalysis are warmly welcome!
Please register to the symposium no later than Wednesday March 14 2017. Provide the title of your presentation together with couple highlights of your work. No abstract is needed but please use the template to provide the title and highlights. lang="EN-US">Register by filling in your name, affiliation, email, and special diet using this form "Registration form". You can also upload the file containing the title and highlight information, in that case choose “I want to send attachment/attachments” before clicking the Save button on the form. You will receive an e-mail with your registration details. Please note on March 21st the registration system is offline due to maintenance

Registration fee
The registration fee is 40 euros and it should be directly paid to the account of Finnish Catalysis Society: FI08 1107 3000 6085 17 (Nordea). As an invoice reference please write “Young Scientist forum N.N”, where N.N is the name of the participant. The fee covers the attendance to the lectures, lunch, afternoon coffee, and evening buffet.

Venue
The Young Scientist Forum will be organized in Nikolainkulma (Asemakatu 6 40100 Jyväskylä), which is located  in downtown of Jyväskylä and a couple minutes’ walk away from the railway and bus station.
