The Netherlands Center for Multiscale Catalytic Energy Conversion aims to tackle one of the most important questions of this century; i.e., how can we make our energy carriers and materials in a more sustainable manner? In order to contribute to this ambition, MCEC has defined three Scientific Challenges: mastering catalytic events, complex multiscale structures and mass, and heat flows. Each challenge focuses on the fundamental questions of the nanoscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic worlds of a catalytic process. Prof. Bert Weckhuysen is one of the initiators of this grand project and current scientific director.
