The 30th North American Catalysis Society Meeting (NAM30) comes to Toronto from June 13 to 18, 2027. Join us at this extraordinary bi-yearly event.

Chair Announcement

Welcome to the Catalysis Division! The Division has been established for Members of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) who have a common interest, experience and/or training in the advancement of the knowledge and application of both heterogeneous and homogeneous chemical catalysis in Canada by encouragement of appropriate research and development in science and engineering.

I want to bring your attention to the Slate of the 2024-26 Executive Committee which is posted under Documents. Please review the slate. If anyone would like to nominate other individuals to serve the executive committee, please follow the instruction in the slate. See you in Sherbrooke next month.
