Event Details

IChemE’s Catalysis & Reaction Engineering group and the School of Engineering host a symposium on sustainable catalysis, CO₂ conversion, hydrogen, electrified and intensified reactors—driving innovation, collaboration and future energy solutions.

The symposium, organised by the Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Special Interest Group of IChemE and the School of Engineering at Lancaster University, invites PhD students, early-career academics, and industrialists to present their research on the latest developments in cutting-edge catalysis and reaction engineering.

The event will focus on emerging trends that are shaping the future of sustainable chemical technologies and energy conversion. Topics of interest include:

• Electrification of catalysis and electrochemical reactors.
• External field-assisted (Plasma, photo, magnetic, etc) catalytic processes.
• Catalysis for carbon dioxide conversion.
• Catalytic hydrogen production and storage.
• Intensified reactor technologies for advanced decarbonisation.

Through presentations, panel feedback and networking sessions, this event offers a space to showcase innovation, build collaborations and explore future directions in reaction engineering.

Abstract submission: Please submit your abstract to specialinterestgroups@icheme.org.
