8th ELSI International Symposium: Webcast Live!

How do we interpret the concept of catalysis? Is catalysis understood differently across disciplines?

Catalysis (/kəˈtæləsɪs/) is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst (/ˈkætəlɪst/), which is not consumed in the catalyzed reaction and can continue to act repeatedly. -- Wikipedia

The GOAL of this symposium is to bring together researchers from various fields to extend our views of catalysis; to link theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches to better understand the phenomenon known as "Catalysis" and the complexity that we observe on Earth and beyond.
