【组织简介】 EFCATS is a federation of catalysis societies from 24 European countries.
The main effort of EFCATS is the organisation of EUROPACAT, a biennial European congress on catalysis.
Constitution of the European Federation of Catalysis Societies:
Whereas there have been formed within the countries of Europe a number of societies, and branches of national scientific societies, devoted to the study of catalysis and related subjects. And whereas each has organised and continues to organise its own programme of conferences, supplemented by bilateral meetings sponsored by governments and national funding agencies. Now thereof, bearing in mind the momentum towards European unity it is timely to provide a means whereby scientists and engineers throughout the continent of Europe may coordinate and rationalise their scientific activities in the field of catalysis, and may simplify the forums for communication of the results of their researches in this area. This Constitution hereby establishes a European Federation of Catalysis Societies, herein after referred to as EFCATS, as a non-profit-making organisation or charity and defines procedures whereby the affairs of the Federation may be properly and lawfully conducted. While it is not intended that the Federation shall replace or usurp the functions of the existing national societies, which will be free to continue to organise their own activities at the national level, it is expected that it will initiate and coordinate activities, especially conferences, having a multinational charater, and will exercise an important role in enhancing the status of catalysis as a fit subject for research. The existing societies, in the capacity of local branches of EFCATS, will however play a vital part in releasing the new Federation′s aims.
