Outreach activities are crucial for several reasons. Firstly, they help demystify the science behind catalysis, making it more accessible to a broader audience. This can inspire young students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Secondly, outreach activities facilitate the transfer of knowledge between academia and industry, leading to innovative solutions to real-world problems. Finally, these activities can influence policy decisions by providing policymakers with a clear understanding of the importance and potential of catalytic science.
