The event aims to promote disruptive catalysis with the objective of building a better world. Worldwide societal challenges including the environment, energy, mobility, and the circular economy will be addressed. The main conference slogan is “Roots and Wings for a Better World”. The event will be an opportunity for “participatory catalysis” by favoring interactions based on digital communication.
