Conference: 21st National Youth Congress on Catalysis
Organization: The Catalysis Society of China
Date: 23–26 August 2026
Place: Hohhot, China
The 21st National Youth Congress on Catalysis will be held in Hohhot from 23 to 26 August 2026. The conference is guided by the Catalysis Society of China and hosted by Inner Mongolia University.
Initiated in 1987, the National Youth Congress on Catalysis aims to provide a platform for academic exchange and professional development for young catalysis researchers in China (aged 45 and under). The theme of this year’s conference is “Green and Sustainable Catalysis Empowering High-Quality Development of New Productive Forces”. The program will cover a wide range of topics, including biocatalysis, organocatalysis, artificial intelligence in catalysis, theoretical and computational studies, advanced characterization techniques, fossil resource utilization and environmental catalysis, transformation of regional resources and industrial catalysis, catalyst design and preparation, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and catalytic conversion of biomass and plastics.
The conference will showcase the latest research advances, facilitate in-depth discussions on current opportunities, challenges, and future directions in catalysis, and promote stronger collaboration between academia and industry, contributing to the advancement of catalysis science and technology in China.
The organizing committee warmly welcomes submissions and participation from young catalysis researchers nationwide, including experts, scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students from related fields. Representatives from enterprises, instrument manufacturers, and the publishing industry are also sincerely invited to attend the conference.
