International Congress on Catalysis (ICC)

The International Congress on Catalysis is one of the oldest and most prestigious conferences in the catalysis field, held every four years under the auspices of the International Association of Catalysis Societies. It serves as a global gathering point for the entire catalysis community, covering fundamental science, applied research, and industrial implementation. ICC attracts leading researchers from all continents, including senior academic figures, industrial R&D leaders, and policymakers involved in energy and sustainability transitions. The program typically emphasizes breakthrough research, emerging directions, and grand challenges such as sustainable catalysis, renewable feedstocks, and carbon management. Due to its scale and prestige, ICC plays a strategic role in defining long-term research priorities for the field. Acceptance and presentation at ICC are widely regarded as indicators of high scientific standing, making it a cornerstone event in global catalysis.
