The Center

The Center for Chemical Catalysis “C³” has been launched in 2021 by scientists of Chemistry Department “Giacomo Ciamician” and Industrial Chemistry Department “Toso Montanari” of Alma Mater Studiorum - Università of Bologna.

Currently, the roster of the C³ counts more than 100 chemists, among senior and junior researchers, with interdisciplinary expertise covering many aspects of the chemical science. 

In the C³ the complementary skills of two Chemistry Departments will be synergistically combined to tackle the ongoing challenges for a sustainable future. 

MISSION

The Center for Chemical Catalysis aims to become a national and international "hub" for the development and investigation of chemical catalytic processes.

The main objectives of C³ are:

• to promote the creation of profitable scientific networks comprising academic as well as industrial partners;
• to consolidate technology transfer from Academia to chemical Industry;
• to pursue high educational trainings of early-stage chemists in the field of chemical catalysis;
• to foster scientific dissemination and public engagement.
