Today nearly 60 members of the Dutch Catalysis Community met in Eindhoven to take the next steps in community building together. The workshop included three dedicated presentations, as well as focused breakout discussion sessions (see the agenda below). The event expanded attendees’ personal contacts across ages and affiliations, and has clearly set the foundation of a community that is willing to stay continuously engaged in our process.
