Sub-Forum

1. Advanced Catalytic Conversion of (hemi)Cellulose and Platform Compounds

Theme: Catalytic strategies for depolymerization, functionalization, and valorization of cellulose, hemicellulose, and the derived platform compounds. Focus on heterogeneous catalysts, enzymatic systems, and hybrid approaches.

2. Advanced Catalytic Conversion of Lignin and Plastics 

Theme: Novel strategies for lignin separation, depolymerization, functionalization, and valorization, and catalytic plastic upcycling.

3. Biomass-Derived Polymers, Materials and Applications

Theme: Catalytic production of bio-based polymers and monomers (e.g., FDCA, lactic acid), carbon materials and functional materials.
