Submission of papers dealing with original experimental or theoretical catalysis research in the following, non-limiting, list of topics is encouraged.

All aspects of catalysis (theory, computational, surface science, analytical methods) are welcome. Authors select the topic which most closely represents their contribution. If this is not obvious, authors should still select one topic but also send a short note to the technical program chair to highlight the issue.
