Dear all participants,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of pre-symposium of the 16th ICC-Pre in Sapporo,
we would like to extend our deepest appreciation for your participation in the symposium.
It is our great pleasure to provide this opportunity for all members belonging to international catalysis community.
We believe that you have a lot of fruitful discussion in oral and poster session.

Photos of this symposium have been uploaded. Please check here.

Thanking again all for the highly successful symposium.

Sincerely yours,

Prof. Atsushi Fukuoka
Chair of the Symposium

Associate Prof. Kiyotaka Nakajima
Secretary of the Symposium


Overcoming energy and environmental issues is a grand challenge in catalysis. This symposium "Novel Catalysts for Energy and Environmental Issues" will be held on June 30th - July 1st in Sapporo, Japan and deal with conversion of alkanes such as methane, energy careers, biorefinery, and environmental catalysis. Three plenary lecturers and fivenine invited speakers will talk on unique and state-of-the-art topics in the respective research areas. In addition, we will have more than 40 general oral and poster presentations in total.
Sapporo, where this symposium is held, is the capital of Hokkaido, and famous for delicious foods, beer, and snow festival. Hope that all the participants enjoy this symposium and sightseeing.

Submission of abstract and paper for special issue


Abstract submission
Please use the abstract template, and send your abstract with the registration form to secretary by e-mail (Pre-symposium_Sapporo(at)cat.hokudai.ac.jp). The e-mail should be entitled "abstract submission", and your preference oral/poster can be written in the text. Application for oral and poster presentations has already been closed. The abstracts were evaluated by reviewers, and the decision letters have already been sent to corresponding authors.

Contribution to special issue
Selected contributors are invited to submit a paper to Chinese Journal of Catalysis appearing in a special issue devoted to the pre-symposium. The journal represents a premier international journal that is published in English with the most recent 2014 impact factor as high as 1.96 (Thomson Reuters JCR). Manuscripts should be submitted online through the website of the journal. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed following a standard procedure and acceptance will be decided by the editors.
