Friday, March 31, 2023 at University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu campus

The scientific programme includes keynote lectures, oral presentations and a poster session. The annual meeting of the Finnish Catalysis Society will be held in the symposium facilities after the presentations. The evening will continue with relaxed networking over a dinner in restaurant Filipof at the Joensuu city center. Before the scientific programme, there is an opportunity to enjoy a small breakfast and have a guided tour of the facilities of the department of chemistry.

All PhD students, their supervisors and other researchers in the field of catalysis in Finland are cordially welcome!

Please register for the event at the latest on 28th of February 2023. Provide the title of your presentation and few highlights in the registration form in the following link:

VENUE

University of Eastern Finland - Joensuu campus

Joensuu is the capital of North Karelia and a lively university town. Out of 74 000 people, approximately 20 000 are students. University of Joensuu was established 1969 and it merged with University of Kuopio in 2010 to form University of Eastern Finland (UEF). This multidisciplinary university has four faculties and over a hundred major subjects. The YSF2023 will be held in the Metria building, which was completely renovated by 2018. Metria houses several departments including the Department of Physics and Mathematics, Department of Social Sciences, Department of Geographical and Historical studies, as well as the newly opened Center for Photonics Sciences.
