5th Umicore Catalysis Symposium
Advancing Homogeneous Catalysis for Industrial Applications
The Umicore Catalysis Symposium (UCS) is Umicore Precious Metals Chemistry’s signature industry‑focused symposium on homogeneous catalysis, bringing together scientists, experts, and industry partners to exchange insights, discuss emerging trends, and explore solutions in applied chemistry.
UCS provides a unique platform that connects scientific innovation in homogeneous catalysis with real‑world industrial applications – fostering collaboration, inspiration, and meaningful dialogue between academia and industry.
Why attend the Umicore Catalysis Symposium?
The Umicore Catalysis Symposium is designed for scientists, researchers, and decision‑makers working in homogeneous catalysis, applied chemistry, and industrial catalytic processes. UCS offers a focused alternative to large conferences, enabling deeper technical exchange, high‑quality discussions, and direct interaction with experts from both academia and industry.
At UCS, you will...
- gain insights into current and future trends in industrially relevant homogeneous catalysis, including key challenges
- exchange ideas with leading experts and peers from industry and academia
- strengthen your professional network in an interactive, focused setting that encourages meaningful scientific dialogue
