Catalysis Research Center has been conducting a series of the CRC International Symposium in abroad since 2005. We finished the first term and restarted a new series on theory and computation chemistry which have a strong connection with catalysts. We succeeded to invite top-level scientists on theoretical and as listed above. We heartily invite all of you to this symposium. Please visit our homepage. Thanks.
