Good afternoon,
Thank you for signing up for the Materials Spotlight Series event tomorrow, April 7th from 9:15 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. We will be looking at the 2-, 5-, and 10-year challenges for the catalysis industry, such as moving towards a cleaner and sustainable future, addressing evolving energy and raw material scenarios, understanding catalysis from the molecular to application scale, etc.
