3rd Umicore Catalysis Symposium
Explore cutting-edge advancements in homogeneous catalysis
Join us and discuss the newest frontiers in homogeneous catalysis processes and solutions with industry leaders, researchers, and innovators.
This year, we extend our invitation to the heart of Europe, to Hanau, Hesse, Germany, where the Umicore legacy thrives. Building on the success of our previous symposiums, including the recent ones held in the United States, we're excited to continue our homogeneous catalytic (HOC) exploration journey in Europe.
Don't miss this opportunity to engage with prominent figures from industry and academia, as they share insights and perspectives at the forefront of HOC innovation.

We are delighted to unveil our top speakers.
Keynote speakers Prof. John Hartwig & Dr. Marc Mauduit
First, join us in welcoming Professor John Hartwig from the University of California, Berkeley. With a focus on discovering and analyzing new reactions catalyzed by transition metal complexes, Professor Hartwig is a trailblazer in the field of catalysis. His contributions to cross-coupling chemistry, hydroaminations, and C-H bond functionalization have revolutionized organic synthesis.
We are also thrilled to announce Dr. Marc Mauduit, Directeur de Recherche CNRS at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes (ISCR), as our second keynote speaker. Dr. Mauduit brings a wealth of expertise in catalysis research, with a focus on developing innovative methodologies for organic synthesis. His work at CNRS has led to significant advancements in the field, making him a renowned figure in catalysis. Dr. Mauduit will share insights into his latest research and discoveries during his keynote address at UCS.
