The event covers the scientific bases for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts. It brings together researchers from academia and industry and offers a forum for discussions on the chemistry involved in the preparation of industrial heterogeneous catalysts. Contributions focusing on all aspects of catalyst preparation are welcome. Reports on physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts and catalytic performances should be limited to correlations with the preparation parameters.
