YounGeCatSYounGeCatS is a German platform for young scientists in academia and industry in the field of catalysis research. The network facilitates intensive exchange and discussion amongst young scientists on research and socio-political as well as career-based topics. Furthermore, YounGeCatS provides a link between students and the established scientific community in the extensive field of catalysis research.
Current Events: - Past Events: YounGeCatS Networking Event 2019 This year’s networking event of the young catalysis researchers of YounGeCatS took place mid-November. The meeting point was the Carbon2Chem plant in Duisburg located on the premises of Thyssenkrupp Steel. Led by Dr. Karsten Büker the participants had the chance to visit the model plant and learn about the processes that are run in it - treatment of exhaust gases and their conversion to methanol. Afterwards Prof. Dr. Eleonore Soei-Winkels gave a presentation about how to use social media for professional networking. A stimulated discussion between the participants and the speaker was proof that the topic is important for young researchers. A lovely dinner at “Urigen Treff” in Oberhausen was a prefect end to this successful day. The second day started with a tour of the whole Thyssenkrupp Steel site. The participants got the chance to not only see important plants of the company but were lucky to be witnessing a few spectacular process steps, like the tapping of the blast furnace, the addition of 250 tons of liquid iron to the steel mill as well as the milling and galvanising of the finished steel. The site visit was led by a young engineering student who had extensive knowledge of the company and the different processes which made the tour very interesting and a success. The organisation team of the YounGeCatS is looking forward to the next event in Weimar and wishes all participants happy networking.
