CATPREP 2024 SUMMER SCHOOL
International summer school on catalyst preparation : fundamental concepts and industrial requirements
9-14 June 2024 - Vogüé, France
The CatPrep summer school, open to an international scientific community, wishes to provide a general framework for teaching the fundamental and applied concepts of catalyst preparation. It will give a comprehensive overview of the fundamental knowledge required for the controlled elaboration of heterogeneous catalytic materials and will present the industrial requirements for large-scale synthesis. The program will be divided into five parts with about 50% of academic and 50% industrial lectures :
- Fundamental bases (introduction; physicochemistry of surfaces)
- Support and porous materials synthesis
- Active phase deposition (impregnation, precipitation, activation : drying, calcination, activation)
- Industrial requirements (up-scaling, regeneration)
- Other directions (colloidal methods, automated and high-throughput synthesis, characterisation methods, surface molecular chemistry, computational approaches)

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON NOVEL ROUTES TO GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
13 July 2024 - Lyon, France
This workshop will allow researchers, industry professionals and policy makers to explore and discuss the latest advancements and future prospects in green hydrogen production. The workshop will feature keynote speeches from leading experts in the field to initiate interactive working group discussions. Main conclusions of the workshop will be summarized in a short report for policymakers to guide further funding in this crucial field for the energy transition. Green H2 topics covered by the lectures and discussed by the working groups will be:
- Advanced electrolysis technologies (PEM, AWE, AEMWE, seawater electrolysis,…)
- Bio-based approaches (biomass, photo-biocatalysis …)
- Catalysis for water splitting (challenges, non-critical materials, recycling…)
- Reactor designs and process optimization
The number of participants will be limited to 70. The application procedure will be available starting March 2024.
