ELECTRON CHEMISTRY AND CATALYSIS AT INTERFACES

电子化学和表面催化领域研究 -- 国际研究和教育合作团队






SUMMER SCHOOL 2006


In August of 2006, the PIRE-ECCI and ICMR co-sponsored a summer school in Santa Barbara:

"Techniques of Surface Science and Catalysis"

(See also International Center for Materials Research)

Opening remarks and summer school outline can be viewed here.

TOPICS

Topics that were covered include experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding reactivity at the gas/solid and liquid/solid interface. Since this summer school took place within nine months of the initiation of the PIRE-ECCI, it served as a powerful means to foster PIRE-ECCI participant interactions and stimulate concrete plans for the newly-formed collaborations.
