Introduction

The Royal Society of Chemistry is running its Applied Catalysis for the Circular Economy meeting for the third time in March 2026. This time the event will be in a 2-day format covering homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts on consecutive days. Themes will span use of precious metals and base metals catalysts and their progress in applications within the circular economy. This fully catered event will have the main conference as well as an exhibition and poster sessions. There are opportunities for sponsorship - please enquire with the event organiser for further details.
