Dear congress visitors,

It is my honor and great pleasure to write a few welcome notes to you. Through centuries people. were fascinated with the possibilities of synthesis of new materials with extraordinary properties. New materials are practically needed in all domains of life. Design and synthesis of new materials is one of the most important and interesting part of material sciences. Particularly a synthesis of new active and selective catalysts is a very important challenge. Our main aim concentrates on the new methods of the synthesis of single-site hierarchical porous zeolite catalysts with acid-base and redox properties. Such zeolite catalysts with active sites formed by incorporation of heteroelements in their framework are perspective as catalysts of protection of environment and biofeedstock conversion into valuable chemicals.

Find your Catalyst! Not in the right environment to innovate in catalysts? MOVE!

Without a doubt, research in catalysts over the past century has revolutionized society.  Whether in energy, new sensors, exceptional batteries or fantastic medicine, research in catalysts has exploded ! Gone are the days when a catalyst was just a catalyst. We know so much more about catalysts today to change any application area.

But, is this enough ? Do we know enough ? Are we really creating the best catalysts for energy, power, or medicine ? No ! Most importantly, are we doing enough to translate such revolutionary research in catalytic materials into real products ? What is happening to all of this great research ? Are companies not paying enough attention to this wonderful research ? Are Universities not doing enough to license academic research or start new companies ? What about federal funding agencies ? Are they supporting the commercialization of such new advances in catalysts enough ? And, more personally, are you in the right environment to commercialize your breakthroughs in catalytic research ?

Well, in my own experience, above all else, it takes a supportive positive, one would say catalytic, environment to commercialize new research. It takes a proper mind set to translate lab research into real commercial products. It takes determination and fortitude to see it through. You need to surround yourself by the right people – and if you are currently not around a supportive optimistic catalytic environment, leave ! Leave the University you are at - I did ! Leave that company and start your own ! Once I found a truly supportive catalytic environment (not just one concerned about funding), I was able to not only start a company based on my catalytic research for human health, but commercialize my over 25 years of University research into medical devices now in over 30,000 patients with no implant failures. No infection. No chronic inflammation. No implant failures. Now that is a successful catalyst. My most successful product is a catalytic biomaterial (originally developed through over 20 years of hard academic research) which has never failed in humans to date. An improvement to catalysts. An improvement to health. An improvement to life expectancy.

So, I encourage everyone to find that right catalytic environment. Life is too short and your research is too important. 

Attend the CAT2025 conference ! Meet the right people ! Be energized by optimism ! Surround yourself with positivity. Surround yourself with catalysts ! At CAT2025, we will not only discuss the next catalytic breakthrough, but more importantly, we will discuss how to commercialize it ! Positively !

I look forward to seeing everyone to spread the positivity ! Be a catalyst !

Dear Congress Visitors 2025,

It is an honor and pleasure to invite you to CAT 2025 covering a wide range of topics including catalysis for energy, plasma catalysis, enzymatic pathways, renewable sources, and many more. These topics cover both academic and industrial value. This event will explore the latest research and developments across these areas, providing attendees with a holistic understanding of the current status and future potential of catalysis and chemical engineering.

Industrialization having been promoted since the 18th century has achieved a high level of material affluence, but resulted in a risky society in terms of serious environmental problems as much as threatening the existence of humans on the earth. As we know, sustainable development is promoted at a global level for overcoming the risky society.

In a broad sense, the topics of CAT 2025 cover a set of core technology-based means to achieve sustainable development, and approach the core means through a logical and systematic access, good problem-solving, creative abilities, and a scientific mind.

In addition, it is no doubt that CAT 2025 is a significant and important platform not only advancing the knowledge of this field through presentation and discussions, but also contributing to sustainable development at a global level through providing the advanced knowledge applicable to the field.

We are actively looking forward to welcoming you to the CAT 2025 and collectively exploring the frontiers for expediting the future endeavors in catalysis and chemical engineering as a means to achieve sustainable development.

Dear Conference Attendees,

It is a great pleasure to write a few welcome notes for sessions devoted to   Catalysis for Energy and  Renewable Sources  required to keep humans safely on the earth. A multi-disciplinary approach related to generation of hydrogen from biofuels  and its usage in solid oxide fuel cells for efficient and reliable energy generation is based upon design of catalytic nanomaterials for structured catalysts of biofuels transformation into syngas and hydrogen, oxygen and hydrogen separation membranes and solid oxide fuel cells anodes operating in the internal reforming mode.  These  sessions offer a variety of research topics including new approaches to synthesis of nanocomposite catalytic materials, their detailed characterization with modern techniques to elucidate atom-scale factors  controlling their activity and stability,  testing  in  real operation conditions  with mathematical modeling required for up-scaling. It will be a great opportunity for participants to gain knowledge with the up-to-date research in this field.

Dear 2025 participants,

It is a pleasure for me being part of the 21st edition of Global Conference on Catalysis, Chemical Engineering and Technology that will be held in Valencia, Spain, in September 2025. In relation to this, I would like to write you a few welcome notes drawing your attention to one of the most worrying effects of Climate Change, that is, water scarcity. As you may know, even more in the region of Valencia where the Dana effects were, unfortunately, devastating, water stress and water droughts are creating increasing concern not only at population levels but also at politics level. In this catastrophic scenario, finding alternative water sources becomes a critical issue. In this sense, and jointly with desalination practices, reusing treated urban wastewater must be considered as a sustainable and economically viable alternative. New European Regulation on the minimum requirements that treated urban wastewater must be fulfilled to guarantee its safe reuse on crop irrigation, is being adopted all over Europe provoking the update of urban wastewater treatment infrastructures to comply with such regulation. Existing and improved oxidation techniques for eliminating microcontaminants, pathogens and resistance to antibiotics will be summarized and deeply explained in my keynote, stressing the new challenges and future prospective of new sustainable technologies.

Dear attendees,

I’m thrilled to meeting you (virtually) at the CAT 2025 conference to discuss the transformation of our linear, fossil-based chemical industry to a circular and sustainable industry. This endeavor will require academia and industry to discover, develop and deploy novel manufacturing processes that utilize waste and renewable carbon as feedstock. My keynote lecture will introduce our approaches to valorize lignocellulosic residues by converting the contained sugars to ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, two important intermediates for the chemical industry. Deviating from conventional approaches, we are not extracting the contained sugars for subsequent upgrading, but we are rather removing the toxic components of the biomass that hinder the valorization of the contained sugars. I’m looking forward to hearing your pertinent comments, questions and suggestions.

Dear participants,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 21st edition of CAT. Over the years, I have witnessed how this conference has fostered dialogue, collaboration, and in-depth exploration of critical topics that shape both the present and the future of global research. The opportunity to present and share your work with the scientific community is the beating heart of the research process. It drives the development of innovative technologies that enhance research methodologies and industrial processes, all while advancing our shared commitment to environmental sustainability. However, CAT is more than just a platform for dissemination. It is, above all, a unique opportunity to build connections—bridging the gap between researchers and industries from around the globe. This is a space where ideas are exchanged, partnerships are formed, and the seeds of future breakthroughs are planted. I encourage each of you to make the most of this occasion. Engage with your peers, forge meaningful collaborations, and strengthen the bonds that unite us in our common pursuit of knowledge and progress.
