The Royal Society of Chemistry hosted an Editors’ session at the recent NGCS13 conference (https://ngcs13.com). Catalysis Science & Technology Executive Editor Maria Southall gave a brief overview of RSC journals in the energy, catalysis and sustainability fields. Dr Southall was joined by Catalysis Science & Technology Editor-in-Chief Bert Weckhuysen, Green Chemistry Editor-in-Chief Javier Pérez-Ramírez, RSC Sustainability Associate Editor Haichao Liu, Catalysis Science & Technology Associate Editors Bin Liu, Kenichi Shimizu and Xiulian Pan and Industrial Chemistry & Materials Editorial Board member Atsushi Urakawa to give tips about publishing in RSC journals and respond to questions from an engaged audience.

On the last day of the conference, Green Chemistry Editor-in-Chief Javier Pérez-Ramírez gave out 10 Best Oral Presentation awards:

*Esteban Gaston Gioria, Technical University of Denmark
*Qingpeng Cheng, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
*Maria Grabchenko, Tomsk State University
*Laura Kraußer, Leibniz Institute for Catalysis
*Andrea Fasolini, University of Bologna
*Cherie Hsu, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
*Jon Bjarke Valbaek Mygind, Technical University of Denmark
*Daan W. Groefsema, Utrecht University
*Mufudzi Chaza, University of Cape Town
*Koki Saegusa, Waseda University

Many congratulations to all the winners!

6th – 9th September 2020, Manchester, UK

The ICEC, which was first held in Pisa in 1995 has had a major influence on the development of catalytic solutions to address global environment issues such as air and water pollution, green synthesis and more efficient use of energy. It was last held in the UK in Belfast in 2008 and we welcome colleagues from around the world back to the UK to participate in this conference and exchange research to further our knowledge and impact of environmental catalysis. As with previous conferences, it will consist of a number of plenary talks coupled with parallel oral and poster sessions.

Plenary Speakers:

• Tim Bugg – Bacterial Enzymes for Lignin Degradation
• Alessandra Quadrelli – Surface Organometallic Chemistry on MOFs, POPs and Inorganic Oxides for CO2 and N2 Reduction: En route to Renewable Energies Storage
• Enrico Tronconi – The NH3-SCR Redox Cycle over Cu-CHA: Insights from Transient Response Methods

Catalysis Science & Technology and Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry are pleased to support the 12th International Symposium on the “Scientific Bases for the Preparation of Heterogeneous Catalysts” to be held in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium from 8−12 July 2018.

It is a tradition that every four years, the University of Louvain and the KU Leuven jointly organise a symposium devoted to the scientific bases for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts. This meeting brings together researchers from academia and industry and offers a forum for discussions on the chemistry involved in the preparation of industrial heterogeneous catalysts.

Register here: the deadline for early bird registration is 24 April 2018.

The 8^th International Gold Conference will be taking place in Paris, France between 15-18 July 2018. Gold 2018 will see specialists given the opportunity to discuss the most recent highlights and achievements of their field, and also to get a comprehensive overview of the related areas of gold science in the parallel sessions of the conference.

Catalysis Science & Technology Associate Editor Javier Pérez-Ramirez will be attending the conference as a keynote speaker, delivering a speech on “nanostructured catalysts for selective hydrogenation and hydrochlorination”. Additionally, Catalysis Science & Technology is sponsoring the event and will be awarding prizes for the best poster submissions. Deadline for submissions is February 19th 2018.
