Welcome to the Swedish Catalysis Society

The members are both individuals with an interest in catalytic research and companies active in the area.

About the Swedish Catalysis Society

Short facts:

• The Swedish Catalysis Society was established in 1989
• The main task is to arrange yearly catalyst symposia in Sweden
• Two grants of SEK 7. 5000 are given to students each year
• The society is represented in the Nordic Catalysis Society and in the European Catalysis Society
