As part of the Munich Catalysis Symposium ’25, Prof. Klaus Köhler from TUM will take us on an exciting journey through the tension between academic motives and the requirements of industrial practice in his lecture.
Why is this so important? The challenges to climate and the environment are enormous, and the transformation of industry and raw material bases urgently needs to be accelerated. But how do we manage the limited resources and timeframes available to us?
Professor Köhler explores which approaches from basic and applied research can truly offer solutions: Will it be highly developed high-tech methods and a deeper scientific understanding? Or will it be high-throughput screening, statistics, machine learning (ML), and AI that provide the right answers?
The presentation offers valuable insights into specific research fields such as catalyst preparation, nitrogen oxide reduction, CO2 hydrogenation and water electrolysis, and shows how research in these areas is already providing promising solutions.
A must-read for anyone who wants to help shape the future of catalysis and its role in climate protection and industrial transformation!
