Conference Alert: Saudi-Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals

“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness.” -- Charles Dickens (English novelist, 1812-1870)

The Annual Saudi-Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals (www.kfupm.edu.sa/catsymp) will be held December 1-2, 2013 in Saudi Arabia.

The annual Saudi-Japan symposium on catalysts serves as a forum for presenting latest developments in applied catalytic research, promoting exchange of interdisciplinary ideas, and stimulating new developments. The symposium is organized jointly by the Center for Refining & Petrochemicals (CRP) and Center of Research Excellence in Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals (CoRE-PRP) at KFUPM, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, the Japan Petroleum Institute (JPI), and Japan Cooperation Center, Petroleum (JCCP), Tokyo, Japan.
