Who can become a member of EFCATS?
Membership in EFCATS is typically open to national catalysis societies across Europe. These member societies represent a broad spectrum of professionals, including academic researchers, industry practitioners, and students. Individual members of these national societies automatically become part of the EFCATS network, gaining access to a wealth of resources and opportunities.
Promoting
sustainable catalysis practices and technologies, in line with global environmental goals.
Encouraging interdisciplinary research that bridges catalysis with other scientific domains such as material science, chemistry, and engineering.
Launching digital platforms and virtual conferences to maintain scientific exchange during global disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supporting gender equality and diversity within the catalysis community by providing dedicated forums and mentorship programs.
Providing travel grants and scholarships for young researchers to attend conferences and workshops.
Organizing
summer schools and training courses focused on fundamental and advanced topics in catalysis.
Offering networking opportunities with leading experts in the field, thus facilitating career development.
Recognizing outstanding doctoral theses and research contributions through awards and honors.
How can one get involved with EFCATS?
To get involved with EFCATS, individuals should first join their respective national catalysis society. Active participation in EFCATS activities can be achieved by attending conferences, submitting research for publication, volunteering for organizational roles, and participating in collaborative projects. Keeping up with EFCATS announcements and engaging with their digital platforms can also provide numerous opportunities for involvement.
