It is our great pleasure to invite colleagues and researchers working in the fields of catalysis, zeolites, and ordered porous materials to the 11th Czech-Italian-Spanish Conference on Molecular Sieves and Catalysis (CIS-11). The event will take place in the inspiring Mediterranean setting of Isola delle Femmine (Palermo, Italy) from May 31 to June 3, 2027.
About the Conference
Building upon the outstanding success of previous editions, CIS-11 aims to consolidate the long-standing and fruitful cooperation among research groups from the Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain. Furthermore, we enthusiastically welcome contributions from the broader international scientific community.
This symposium continues a well-established series of international conferences devoted primarily to the lifecycle of molecular sieves and related porous materials. We look forward to providing a friendly and highly engaging atmosphere for scientific exchange.
Topics of Interest
The scientific program will cover a wide spectrum of research, including the synthesis, characterisation, modelling, engineering, and application of porous materials.
Key focus areas include, but are not limited to: petrochemistry, fine chemicals synthesis, energy conversion and storage, environment and sustainable applications.
Contributions from other areas of catalysis and molecular sieves are also welcome.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you in Palermo.
