Join us in Weimar from 12-14 March 2025 for the next “Jahrestreffen Deutscher Katalytiker”.
This conference has established itself as one of the most important European catalysis events, covering all aspects from research on the fundamentals of catalysis, the understanding of catalytic processes, catalyst design to reaction engineering and industrial applications. More than 400 experts from universities, research institutes and industry meet annually to present their research, exchange their ideas and share new developments and the latest results in all areas of catalysis.
The event aims to highlight state-of-the art research and development from theory to application, as well as to provide an opportunity for young scientists to present their scientific results, discuss their research with academic peers and build and expand a professional network. Furthermore, renowned plenary speakers from academia and industry have been invited, setting additional highlights to the conference. Like in previous meetings an industrial exhibition and several poster workshops will accompany the scientific programme.
We invite you to join us and discuss recent academic and industrial innovations of catalysis research. Save the date and prepare your contribution! We look forward to meeting you in March 2025 in the beautiful and historically important town of Weimar.

Participants of the conference will receive a lanyard (provided by the sponsor) at registration which they will wear during the whole event. The sponsor's logo is therefore clearly visible and present to all participants at all times.
Price: 1.500 Euro (excl. VAT, according to tax rate)
(approx. 3€ Euro per delegate)
Please note: Registration fee cannot be waived for authors. Please use the online registration.
If you are unable to present your lecture for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible.
The official language of the conference is English. Simultaneous translation will be not available.
A brief CV questionary enables the appropriate chairperson to introduce all lecturers to the audience. Therefore, lecturers are asked to download the CV form and to return it to the conference office until 21 February 2025.
The ideal format for the presentation is 16:9. A notebook and a wireless presenter will be provided. Please bring your presentation slides as PowerPoint or PDF-File on a USB stick.
In case that you need internet /special software for your presentation or if you have videos included into your file, please notify us in advance.
Each lecture is planned for a duration of 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion. Strict timekeeping will be essential for the smooth running of the conference. We suggest to use a minimum font size of 24 pt for your presentation slides.
A poster board will be available for each poster, with the poster number attached. We will provide you with adhesive tape for attaching the posters. We would ask you to take care to remove the adhesive tape from the wall when removing the posters.
Due to space limitations, posters will be divided into 2 groups and displayed on site for a limited time only.
The allocation takes place after the Last Minute Poster deadline.
The authors are requested to be present at their poster(s) for discussion during the poster party.
As a major guideline it is proposed to make the poster intelligible in itself, even in the absence of the author. It is suggested to divide the content of each poster into introduction, results and conclusion, with a summary listing the pertinent results and conclusion.
Standard size for posters is 0.85 x 1.2 m (DIN A0 German Standard) vertically oriented.
To ensure that the text is still legible from a distance of 2-3 m, the main text should be written in font size 25-30 pt, marginal information can be slightly smaller with font size 20-25 pt. The title of a poster must be readable from a distance of approx. 5 m (100-200 pt). Subtitles and headings in the text can be written in 50 pt font.
You have the opportunity to present your poster as an ePoster again this year. The ePoster is only accessible online for participants who have registered for the event.
Please prepare a pdf file of your poster with the following attributes.
You can upload your ePoster from 20 January 2025 via the event website.
Procedure:
Log in on the above page on the right with your username and your password.
In the overview, click on Paper submission-> View submitted contributions.
There you click on your contribution and select "Action" and then "Upload presentation". Now you can upload your ePoster as a PDF.
