Friday, April 8, 2022 at Kakola,
Turku/Åbo, Finland
The successful tradition of Young Scientist Forum is continuing, this time for the first time held in Turku on the well-known Kakola hill, which once was the home of prisoners. The symposium has the goal to present on-going and recently finished PhD thesis works in catalysis and to promote the interaction between the key players in catalysis in our country. Contributions from all sub-fields of catalysis are very welcome: homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic and polymer catalysis; presentations covering aspects from theoretical chemistry to material science and chemical engineering. The symposium programme consists of keynote lectures, a prize winner’s lecture (the Prize for best doctoral thesis in catalysis for year 20xx will be announced) and oral presentations of PhD students, followed by a poster session. After the symposium, the annual meeting of Finnish Catalysis Society will take place in the same facilities. The relaxed networking will continue during dinner at the river shore, where also a large sauna is available.
All
PhD students, their supervisors and other researchers in the field of
catalysis in Finland are cordially welcome!

AURUM
- The first Environmentally Excellent Campus building in Finland
The new
Aurum building of the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University on
the University Hill has been completed. The significant chemistry
cluster in Aurum promotes collaboration in research and teaching and, at
the same time, the boost to the industry benefits the regional partners.
Environmental efficiency has been taken into account in all
solutions at Aurum, such as in the materials and use of space. Solar
panels have been installed on the building’s roof and geothermal energy
is used in heating and cooling. Aurum consequently received a BREEAM
environmental certificate with the classification Excellent in the
development phase as a first campus building in Finland.
We
start the YSF2022 on the ground floor restaurant at 09 a.m. Address is:
Henrikinkatu 2, 20500 Turku (map link)
KAKOLA - A piece of Turku’s history
The
young Scientist’s forum will be organized on the restaurant located
on Kakola hill, Kakolanmäki. The hill of Kakola has undergone a
remarkable change since the times when the main building served as a
notorious prison. Kakolanruusu, “the rose of Kakola”, was one of the
first businesses to start in the area. It first opened its doors as a
pop-up restaurant on May Day, 2017.
May Day 2019 started a new era for the Rose. The former kitchens made of
shipping containers and outdoor grill oven has remain in history, as a
new kitchen is put to use in new top-notch facilities in the Yöselli,
“night cell”, building.
A brewery, bakery and coffee roastery complement the range of services
in the area wonderfully. Their products are being served also in
Kakolanruusu.
The registration fee is 50 euro. It should be paid directly to the account of Finnish Catalysis Society (Nordea Bank Account FI08 1107 3000 6085 17) As an invoice reference please write "YSF 2022 Your First Name Family name" The fee covers the attendance to the breakfast at Cafe Aurum , lectures, the lunch at Kakolan Ruusu, the afternoon coffee break, Poster session, dinner at Rantakerttu as well as reserved sauna.
