Baltic Sea Catalysis Institute
The Baltic Sea Catalysis Institute (German: Ostsee-Lehrverbund Katalyse, OLV) of the German Catalysis Society (GeCatS) brings together various catalysis-related research institutions and universities with the aim of providing comprehensive training for young scientists (doctoral students and advanced undergraduates). The network offers an advanced block course to teach the fundamentals and overarching principles of modern catalysis science. This block course consists of three parts, which alternate every three years.
The members of this network are research groups from University of Kiel, Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT) Rostock, Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) Greifswald, University of Greifswald and University of Rostock. The network also includes the University of Hamburg and the Hamburg University of Technology. Other northern German institutions are invited to join.
The teaching network offers an advanced block course to teach the fundamentals and overarching principles of modern catalysis science. This block course consists of three parts, which take place alternately every three years.
Part A deals with the Fundamentals of Catalysis and includes
- fundamentals of catalysis in homogeneous, heterogeneous and biocatalysis
- modern developments in electro-, photo- and plasma catalysis
- kinetic and spectroscopic methods
- quantum chemical methods
- an evening lecture by a renowned scientist
Part B deals with Industrial Catalysis Applications and includes
- reaction engineering and biotechnology
- catalyst synthesis and scale-up
- industrial applications and potential applications in thermo-, electro- and photocatalysis
- management of research data
- an evening lecture by an eminent industrial scientist
Part C deals with Analytics & Spectroscopy in Catalysis and includes
- in situ and operando spectroscopic methods
- characterization of catalysts
- analysis of photo- and electrocatalytic reactions
- chemometric methods
- process analytics
- an evening lecture by an eminent industrial scientist
