Abstract submission is now open for NAM30 in Toronto! 🍁 NAM30 is the biennial meeting widely recognized as a premier topical conference in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, with broad coverage of electrocatalysis and photocatalysis. It brings together over 1,400 academic and industrial researchers from Asia, North America, and Europe—a vibrant intersection of scientific perspectives, ideas, and collaborations—to share the latest advances in catalysis science and technology. With 8 core themes and 15 specialized tracks (NAM30 Technical Program), NAM30 offers a broad program that spans fundamental science, emerging methods, and industrial applications across the catalysis community. Topics range from computation, AI, and operando characterization to biomass and plastics valorization, hydrogen, CO₂ conversion, electro- and photocatalysis, and novel reactor design. 🔬 Submit your abstract: About NAM30 - The 30th North American Catalysis Society Meeting (NAM30) 📅 Deadline: November 15, 2026 Graduate students from North American institutions (excluding postdoctoral researchers) will also have the opportunity to attend and participate in NAM30 with support from the Kokes Award. We strongly encourage eligible students to take advantage of this opportunity. Please check the NAM30 website for eligibility requirements and further details, which will be posted shortly. Beyond the technical program, NAM30 will offer Sunday workshops, career panels, and professional-development sessions designed to help researchers at all career stages learn new skills, explore career opportunities, and connect with colleagues across academia and industry. And while we are doing great science, let’s also enjoy Toronto together! Wake up to the sunrise over Lake Ontario with an early-morning 5K run along the waterfront, then spend the conference day exchanging ideas and building new collaborations. As the day winds down, there will be plenty of ways to experience Toronto—from a cruise along the harbor front, and drinks with colleagues to late-night museum visits, live jazz, sports, Broadway shows, and even a ballet performance right next door. With an extraordinary diversity of restaurants just a 5-minute walk from the congress venue, there will be plenty of opportunities to connect and enjoy great food together—including restaurants serving late-night hotpot until 3 a.m. 🍜 And if you are staying a little longer, why not make a post-conference trip to Niagara Falls? 🍁🌊 So, come to Toronto! Bring your research, your ideas, your curiosity—and your appetite! We look forward to sharing an exciting week of science, friendship, and everything that makes Toronto special. 📣 Follow NAM30 on LinkedIn here for the latest program updates, announcements, and news.
