Surface Reactivity & Catalysis Group

The Surface Reactivity and Catalysis Group (SURCAT) specialist interest group represents those with interests, experimental or theoretical, directed towards reaction processes involving solid surfaces, and especially chemisorption and heterogeneous catalysis. 

It encourages discussion within this area by organising, or participating in the organisation of, regular national and international meetings. 

The membership of ca.380 is from both UK and international laboratories and has extensive representation from industry. 

The Group holds annual meetings and discussion workshops. Recent successful meetings include the second H. S. Taylor Conference and associated Graduate Student Meeting (University of Liverpool, 2000) and Kinetic and in-situ Methods in Heterogeneous Catalysis R&D (University of Edinburgh, 2000).
