• Contribution to <strong>the</strong> future society<br />
(1) Research areas and efforts<br />
The Congress will organize symposia on selected subjects which have a high potential<br />
for opening new areas <strong>of</strong> catalysis research and for contribution to <strong>the</strong> future society.<br />
Chairpersons will be designated for <strong>the</strong> selection <strong>of</strong> invited lecturers and submitted<br />
papers. The contents <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> symposia toge<strong>the</strong>r with related discussions will be published<br />
as separate books after <strong>the</strong> Congress.<br />
The subjects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> symposia will be selected by a special committee consisting <strong>of</strong><br />
renowned scholars from <strong>the</strong> international catalysis community. Emphasis will be placed<br />
on subjects related to future energy, resources and environmental problems,<br />
cross-fertilization among different research disciplines, and fundamental knowledge and<br />
methods to provide key answers to catalysis. The following are examples <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> subjects,<br />
which remain flexible until <strong>the</strong>y are finalized by <strong>the</strong> committee.<br />
• C-H activation<br />
• 100% selectivity process<br />
• Bio and biomimetic catalysis and related topics<br />
• Novel catalytic materials and processes based on nanotechnology<br />
(2) Students and young scholars<br />
The Congress will strongly encourage <strong>the</strong> participation <strong>of</strong> students and young scholars<br />
by providing <strong>the</strong>m with substantial amounts <strong>of</strong> financial support, as determined by <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
scientific performance and financial situations. Awards will be <strong>of</strong>fered to excellent<br />
students based on <strong>the</strong> evaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir scientific presentations in <strong>the</strong> Congress. A tour<br />
program will be arranged at our expense for students who plan to stay after <strong>the</strong><br />
Congress and visit local industries and research institutes.<br />
• Promotion <strong>of</strong> academia-industry collaboration<br />
The Congress will organize a technology session for industries to present <strong>the</strong>ir research<br />
results and innovations in a format closely integrating oral/poster presentations with<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir exhibitions. A panel will be arranged to discuss strategies <strong>of</strong> promoting<br />
academia-industry collaboration in <strong>the</strong> future. A special program will be organized to<br />
associate participating scholars with industries so that <strong>the</strong>y can exchange information<br />
and establish cooperative relations, including visits to industry, seminar lectures and<br />
consultation.<br />
