Welcome

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to attend the XII Encontro Nacional de Catálise e Materiais Porosos (XII ENCMP) to be held on 6th-7th June 2024 in Coimbra, at the Chemistry Department Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the Universidade de Coimbra. It is our great pleasure to host this meeting.

The Scientific Programme will include Plenary Lectures, Keynotes, Oral and Poster communications. It will address all aspects of Catalysis, including homogeneous and heterogeneous processes. Furthermore, the meeting aims to bring together scientists developing porous materials research including both inorganic and organic frameworks.

Contributions in emerging fields of catalysis in unconventional media, flow reactions, bio-, electro-, photo- and nanocatalysis, including mechanistic and computational studies are welcome. Additionally, we are pleased to receive contributions based on synthesis, characterization and applications of zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous polymers, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous carbons, porous silicas and porous organic cages.

This national meeting aims to blend experts from academia, industry, involving researchers and students. It is expected to provide an atmosphere for sharing experiences and knowledge and to enhance networking between young researchers, namely undergraduate, masters and PhD students, and seniors, stimulating collaborations and knowledge building. This event also provides an unparalleled environment for open face-to-face communication with early career researchers and students to promote knowledge exchange and prepare future multidisciplinary researchers.

Please visit the SPQ meeting website regularly for updated information. We hope to meet all colleagues and friends at the XII ENCMP, at the University of Coimbra.

We hope to see you all at the XII ENCMP!
