The congress is devoted to the application of any type of catalyst (homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic) to the synthesis of fine chemicals, with special emphasis on the selectivity issues. The aim is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry, working in the synthesis of fine chemicals with various catalysts, to share their expertise in the field as a way to open new collaborations that help to solve the forthcoming problems in the chemical industry, and to implement more sustainable synthetic methods based on catalytic processes.
