he 15th ICC is the catalysis event in 2012! More than 2,000 participants from all over the world Twill exchange new ideas and discuss developments in all areas of catalysis. Plenary and keynote speakers will present overviews of recent developments. The congress will be held at the International Congress Centre in Mu- nich, a world-class facility offering the flexible infrastruc- ture required to accommodate audiences of any size. In four parallel oral sessions and two general poster sessions all relevant areas from fundamental understand- ing to catalyst design and novel processes will be covered. The sessions are complemented by cross-disciplinary sessions, organized to share exciting new results at the boundaries between established fields within catalysis. Poster presenters will be able to organize up to four par- allel half-day workshops to maximize direct participation by the conference attendees and to stimulate discussions in more specialized areas. A social program rich in various aspects of the local culture will give you the opportunity to meet your col- leagues and friends in a more relaxed atmosphere. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I invite you to attend the 15th ICC in Munich. For more information please visit the congress website www.icc2012.org. I all look forward to your contribution to the exiting scientific program of the 15th ICC and to meet you in 2012 in Munich.
