First international symposium on High-Throughput Catalysts Design

The HTCD2020 will gather the major actors of the catalysts design research field that use high-throughput technologies and equipment. This first edition follows the construction of a collaboration network constituted by the main european high-throughput robotic platforms dedicated to research in biology (genome foundries, enzyme engineering platforms, microbiology/fermentation platforms, etc.), as well as a first workshop that was organized by these laboratories in Darmstadt in November 2018. In order to greatly improve the exchange of knowledge on the use of high-throughput technologies and equipment for catalysts development between both academic and industrial researchers, the HTCD2020 will extend the scientific domain of this network to chemistry and data treament. Therefore, the HTCD2020 will regroup scientists that study the automated synthesis, the testing and the characterization of chemo-, bio- and hybrid catalysts, as well as the methods recently developped to accelerate these steps with the use of new data treatments and artificial intelligence processes.
