Gratulations and welcome to Prof. Dr. Moritz Wolf and his group to our CRC TrackAct! The proposal “Inductive heating of catalysts and novel reactor designs” by Prof. Dr. Moritz Wolf (IKFT, KIT) won the second CRC1441 call "Promotion & association of new junior group research leaders". We are looking forward to many fruitful collaborations and new impulses!
In a two day retreat of TrackAct end of January, our principal investigators layed the fundament for the 2nd funding phase with many fruitful discussions and creative ideas - supported by a lot of sun.
Congratulations to Thomas Sheppard! The whole CRC congratulates to Prof. Dr. Thomas Sheppard on his new position as Interim Professor at Institute of Chemical Technology in Leipzig! In his new position, he and his group will continue their exciting work on in situ and operando chemical imaging of catalysts with synchrotron radiation.

 TrackAct annual status meetingThanks to all project partners for the amazing talks, posters & vivid discussions during our TrackAct annual status meeting at KIT! Also, many thanks to our external speakers R. Braun, A. Beck & E. Hensen for the inspiring talks! |
 Welcome Prof. Hanf and M. Sc. Rang to our CRC!With her proposal “Support engineering for the stabilization of single-atom catalysts”, Jun.-Prof. Dr. Schirin Hanf (IOC, KIT) won the CRC1441 call “Promotion and association of new junior group research leaders”. We are very happy to welcome Prof. Hanf and M.Sc. Fabian Rang to our CRC and look very much forward to new collaborations and insights to single atom catalysts! |
| Visit of Mercator Fellow Prof. Dr. Alessandra Beretta We were very happy that Mercator Fellow Prof. Dr. Alessandra Beretta visited our groups at KIT starting from the 11.7.2022! The scientific exchange with the Casapu, Deutschmann, Grunwaldt, Dittmeyer and Behrens group triggered many fruitful discussions, which will continue over the next weeks. We now look forward to Mercator Fellow Prof. Dr. Silvia Gross, who will be at KIT end of July, and also for Mercator Fellow Prof. Dr. Christian D. Damsgaard, who has announced to visit KIT in Autumn 2022 |
| Introduction lecture to the Chemistry Faculty Dr. Thomas Sheppard On the 11.07.2022 Dr. Thomas Sheppard gave his introduction lecture to the Chemistry Faculty at KIT with the title “New Dimensions in Catalysis and Chemical Technology with X-ray Imaging” |
 Newly funded project A6Jun. Prof. Yolita Eggeler is now part of our CRC! The newly funded project A6 started in 07/2022. In this project, analytical in situ environmental scanning electron microscopy will be combined with transmission electron microscopy and thus will expand the scale bridging approach by closing the gap between the nano- and mesoscale TEM. Welcome on board! |
| Prof. Dr. Silke Behrens GDCh talk On Thursday, 23.06.2022, Prof. Dr. Silke Behrens gave her inaugural lecture as GDCh talk on the topic: “Nanoparticles in Materials Science: From Model Catalysts to Magnetic Hybrid Materials". Congratulations from the whole CRC! |
| Prof. Dr. JD Grunwaldt Visits Mercator Fellows End of June and beginning of July, the speaker of the CRC, Prof. Dr. Jan-Dierk Grunwaldt, visited University of Padua, Politecnico di Milano as well as Technical University of Denmark and was nicely hosted by all three Mercator fellows of the CRC. Many thanks to Prof. Dr. Silvia Gross, Prof. Dr. Alessandra Beretta and Prof. Dr. Christian D. Damsgaard! |
 CataLysis Networking Conference 2022With over 40 stunning talks, 113 beautiful posters and nearly 250 participants, the CataLysis Networking Conference 2022 was a huge success! We hope that many of the fruitful and vivid discussions will contribute to further exchange between the CRCs/TRRs. Thanks to all participants, chair persons, the microphone helpers, the La Strada Team and also JS Medientechnik for enabling this great event! |

| International CataLysis Networking Conference 2022 The CataLysis Conference 2022 will bring together the communities of the German DFG-funded collaborative research centers (CRCs) or Transregios (TRRs) working within the field of catalysis. Up to 400 participants form the CataLysis CRCs will have the chance to exchange on their latest fascinating research and to discuss interdisciplinary topics like F.A.I.R. research data (together with NFDI4Cat). Furthermore, we will have amazing, selected talks (four per CRC), presented in two parallel sessions, every project will have the chance to present a poster and we will provide a panel for networking for early-career group leaders.
