Finnish Catalysis
Society which was founded 1988 is one of the divisions of
the Association of Finnish Chemical
Societies. Today (2021),The Catalysis
Society
has approximately 150 members
and some company members. The aim of
the society
is to
spread information
about catalysis, to organise meetings and conferences
and
to act as a link between people, who are
professionally
active in the field
of
catalysis.
The Society has an annual meeting and it
organises an
annual seminar, where a hot topic in
catalysis is
presented and discussed. The
Society takes part in the
activities
of Nordic Catalysis
Society and European
Federation
for Catalysis (EFCATS). Every
eighth
year, the Society organises
Nordic Symposium on Catalysis on Finnish
soil. The latest symposium
was held in Copenhagen, Denmark (2018). The next one will be arranged in Espoo,
Finland (June 2022, link: 19NSC).
The annual meeting elects a
board to the Society.
In 2021 the chairperson of the board of the Finnish Catalysis Society is Docent
Mika Huuhtanen (University of Oulu).
Professor Dmitry Murzin (Åbo Akademi University) and
Docent Mika Huuhtanen (University of Oulu)
are the Finnish representatives in EFCATS. The Finnish representatives in the
Nordic Society of Catalysis are Docent Satu Ojala (University of Oulu)
and Professor Riikka Puurunen (Aalto).
The Society
publishes a membership letter
(KATSE) about
two
times per year. The
Society supports the participation in international
conferences (Nordic Symposium on Catalysis, EUROPACAT,

Catalysis)
by giving travel
