NanoCAT Summer School: Scientific Excellence in Nano-Catalysis

The 2nd NanoCAT Summer School in 2024, part of the "Scientific Excellence in Nano-CATalysis at the Heyrovský Institute" project, supported under the new Horizon Europe programme will be held in Prague from July 22 to July 24, 2024. 

About the Project: The 3-year's NanoCAT project coordinated by the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry (JHIPC) aims, in line with the objectives of the call, by collaborating with colleagues at Vienna University of Technology and Ulm University, at the enhancement of skills and capacity mainly at the JHIPC. Project's key activities are focused on acquiring all the necessary skills and include training courses, knowledge exchange visits, and summer schools, of which this 2nd NanoCAT Summer school is a prominent example. Over all, training is an essential component of the project. It focuses on developing skills of the next generation of researchers through joint collaborative projects, based on the complementarity of equipment, methods and scientific expertise, and other knowledge building activities within the consortium, to advance their research capacities and capabilities. Thus, the project strengthens the human base in nanocatalysis, which is mutually beneficial for JHIPC, but also for the partner institutions.  

Participants: mainly project team members but also graduate students, post-docs, young researchers and all other interested scientists from all three project partners.
