EuropaCat 2025 - 16th European Congress on Catalysis
Welcome to Trondheim and EuropaCat 2025!
It is with pride and excitement that we invite you to EuropaCat 2025 in Trondheim, Norway. This will be the 16th European Congress on Catalysis under the auspices of the European Federation of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS) and organized as a joint effort of the Nordic Catalysis Societies.
Trondheim is easy to reach and safe, with beautiful natural surroundings and a Viking history. It is a lively, urban university town, small enough to make logistics very easy for the conference participants. We will create a vibrant catalysis hub on its seaside, with easy access from airport and public communication and plenty of different hotels nearby.
And we urge you to join and bring excellent science, hard work, bright ideas, successful catalyst development, innovative solutions and an open mind. It is clear that mastering “the force” of catalysis will be of outmost importance to the resource and environmental challenges that lie ahead for humanity.

Important dates and deadlines
Congress starts August 31, 2025 and ends September 5, 2025
Abstract submission is closed.
Notification of acceptance
Since the deadline for abstract submission was extended by two weeks, the review process has also been somewhat delayed. It is almost complete, but it will be one or two weeks into May before we have balanced the selection of oral presentations and scheduled them in sessions. Once this is done, authors will be notified of acceptance and presentation type.
Registration for EuropaCat 2025 is open and the deadline for Early Birds June 1, 2025
Exhibitions will be assembled from 18:00 Sunday August 31, and dismantled on Thursday evening, September 4.
Target groups
The target groups for EuropaCat 2025 are academia and industry focusing on fundamental research, applied research and development within catalysis.
Participants from academia include both scientists and students focusing on catalysis, reaction engineering, chemical engineering, material science, analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, photocatalysis, organic and inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, as well as computational chemistry.
Industrial participants come from businesses with focus on catalyst development and production, refining and petrochemistry, fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals synthesis, energy conversion including use of renewable resources, car manufacturing (exhaust gas cleaning systems, clean combustion technologies), new materials (organic, inorganic), gas and water cleaning, abatement of emissions from stationary and mobile sources.
