Welcome from the Chairs
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 4th International Electronic Conference on Catalysis Sciences (ECCS 2026). We are honored to host participants from around the world for this dynamic and fully virtual event.
ECCS 2026 serves as a premier platform for researchers, scholars, and professionals in the field of catalysis to present their latest discoveries, share innovative ideas, and exchange practical insights. This year's conference will feature a rich and diverse program, with specialized sessions covering a broad range of cutting-edge topics in catalysis:
S1. Catalytic Materials
S2. Environmental Catalysis
S3. Photocatalysis and Electrocatalysis
S4. Biocatalysis
S5. Biomass Catalysis
S6. Industrial Catalysis
S7. Catalysis in Organic and Polymer Chemistry
S8. Catalysts Synthesis and Characterization
These sessions are designed to foster engaging discussions, highlight recent advancements, and promote collaboration across different subfields of catalysis science.
We are confident that ECCS 2026 will provide valuable opportunities to connect with leading experts, explore emerging research directions, and build lasting professional networks. Your active participation and contributions are key to the success of this event and to the continued advancement of the field.
Thank you for joining us at ECCS 2026. We hope you have an inspiring, productive, and enjoyable conference experience!
