Abstracts

The ABC is a successful series of symposia. The 7th ABC
will provide a forum for scientists and engineers fromboth academia and industry to discuss most recent
developments and technological opportunities in thisvibrant area of research as well as the past ABC symposia,
promoting a global and interdisciplinary approach
towards both fundamental science and industrial applications of acid-base catalysis. We hope many people
engaging in the acid-base catalysis field participate inABC-7.
