We
invite you to join us at the 21st North American Catalysis Society
Meeting to be held from June 7 to 12, 2009 in
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
There will be plenary lectures, several keynote
presentations, five parallel oral sessions, and three poster session.
Plenary
lectures
To be given by the winners of the Boudart, Emmett, and Houdry Awards of the North American Catalysis Society and by Professor Gerhard Ertl of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin.
