Catalysis in the time of coronavirus: A webinar series
Due to the travel restrictions from COVID19, we at CatTheory are hosting a webinar series featuring catalysis researchers from around the world. We believe such a webinar series can contribute to keeping the community up to date on exciting findings, lead to exchange of ideas, help in getting valuable feedback from the community and democratize access to science. All this with no travel + zero carbon footprint!
Beyond equity and inclusion, we see diversity as an untapped opportunity to introduce the fresh new perspectives needed to solve urgent global issues. We are committed to increasing diversity in science and will include talks and Q and As specifically addressing diversity.
The seminars are open to the public upon registration (below). They will be run GRC style: i.e. 45 min for the talk + 30 min for discussion.
Discussion: Participants can type questions into the chat, or type “X” for the host to call for your turn to speak.
Please, in the interest of time, keep the questions short and concise.
Where speakers give permission to do so - the seminars will be recorded and uploaded onto the CatTheory Youtube Channel.
Registration link: The registration link will be available about one week prior to the seminar and will be active until the day before the scheduled talk. Registered participants will be sent an email with the Zoom details. Please note that the Zoom details are not sharable.
Speaker list (updated as new speakers added)
All webinars will take place on a Thursday, Copenhagen time (CET) 3:30 PM-4:45 PM, unless otherwise indicated.
