We are looking forward to five EXECUTIVE ORGANISING COMMITTEE days full of science, of discussion, of interaction and of further progressing our field of research, and I am certain, that in this case, the joy of being a part of EuropaCat 2019 will at least equal, if not surpass the anticipation! Harry Bitter Wageningen University/NL Martin Muhler Ruhr-Universität Bochum/D EuropaCat 2019 has from its very beginning set out under the motto “Catalysis without borders”, and we are living up to Regina Palkovits (Co-Chair) RWTH Aachen University/D this claim: To date more than 1400 catalysis experts from 51 countries have already registered for this conference, emphasizing not only the Veronique Van Speybroeck (Co-Chair) Ghent University, Zwijnaarde/B importance of this event, but also the importance of scientific exchange and discussion across borders. Innovation is a result of bringing ideas Dirk de Vos KU Leuven/B together, of aligning scientific knowledge and practical requirements. EuropCat fosters this exchange across national borders, but also across all Bert Weckhuysen (Co-Chair) University of Utrecht/NL fields of catalysis and from R&D to industrial application. SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE This exchange and the resulting cooperation are crucial to turn research results into meaningful contributions to new technologies. Catalysis holds the key to many of today’s challenges: From the fuel cells to pharmaceutical production, from CO2 conversion to biotransformations, Aliaksandr Bandarenka TU München/D hardly any process is conceivable without the involvement of some form of catalyst. Over the past decades, we have broadened and deepened Annemarie Beers Euro Support, The Hague/NL our understanding of surface processes and interactions in catalytic processes. Together we the tremendous process in informatics, the devel- Matthias Beller Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse e.V., Rostock/D opment of new algorithms and the capability to handle enormous amounts of data, this has brought us to a new threshold: The chance to start Bastian Etzold TU Darmstadt/D the development of a new catalyst not in the test tube, but in the computer. The vision of designing and tailoring catalysts to the very specific Jan-Dierk Grunwaldt Karlsruher Institut für Technologie - KIT/D requirements of a certain process is only a few steps away from becoming reality. Christoph Gürtler Covestro Deutschland AG, Leverkusen/D Klaus Harth BASF SE, Ludwigshafen/D EuropaCat 2019 gives you the opportunity to get updated on cutting-edge research, to learn from and discuss with the most well-known experts Erik Heeres University Groningen/NL from all over the world and to experience an exciting and inspiring scientific community.

Aachen - also known as Aix-la-Chapelle or Aken in our neighboring coun- environment, food and health beyond any geographic or political borders. But borders are being crossed also within tries - is the city of Charlemagne, who once ruled from here an empire of truly European dimensions.

Thus catalysis remains exciting both with respect to its fundamen- development of our continent in the following centuries.

I wish all participants interesting and fruitful discussions and a pleasant stay in a city in the Aachen had a reputation far beyond Europe. The Aachen Cathedral was the first German building that was included heart of Europe. in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Located in the heart of the city, it is a monument of European significance and Gerhard Ertl represents a symbol of Europe. Today, Aachen is also a city of science that enjoys an outstanding national and international reputation thanks to our universities. Cutting-edge research is conducted at these educational and scientific institutions addressing the basis Welcome Address by Prof. Wilhelm Keim († 30 September 2018) of our future life. Our world with all its wealth regarding nutrition, health, housing, mobility, clothes, communication and many more One of these important areas is catalysis. I am therefore delighted that one of the leading international conferences, beautiful things of our daily life would be inconceivable without catalysis. Without catalysis many of our today`s and EuropaCat, will be held in our city! It demonstrates the importance of this science from basic research to industrial future problems “across the borders” cannot be solved. Catalysis embraces heterogeneous, homogeneous and en- application and its pivotal role in addressing ecologic, economic, and societal challenges. zymatic catalysis, which all three have grown to such a size, that makes the breakdown into three single disciplines The motto “Catalysis without Borders” highlights on the one hand the need for symbiotic and productive cooperation unavoidable. However, there are still many common features from molecules to materials and processes given. A across disciplinary borders. At the same time, it reflects the increasing importance of international networks to ad- meeting like EuropaCat 2019 will elucidate on common features, will serve crossfertilization and will counteract dress global challenges. EuropaCat 2019 provides an excellent platform to promote these goals stimulating catalysis separation. The scientific sessions will focus on methodical characteristics and will cover recent results achieved. research in Aachen, in our three-country region, and beyond. There is no doubt, catalysis belongs to the most important sciences. In addition, the 1500 participants anticipated can enjoy the nice city of Aachen and its beautiful European neighborhood. Willkommen in Aachen! I wish all participants of this important conference interesting discussions, a fruitful exchange, and
