School of Physical Sciences

Catalysis: Fundamentals and Practice Summer School, is a biannual event that started more than 20 years ago in a vibrant and dynamic city of Liverpool. It offers an immersive learning experience for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career professionals eager to expand their expertise in this transformative field.

Our intensive one-week long programme bridges theory and applications, covering key areas of catalysis, including homogeneous, heterogeneous, and biocatalysis. This is achieved through a blend of expert lectures, interactive workshops, and engaging social programme.

Ready to get hands-on with real-world data? The Inator Hackathon is a in-person, one-day dive into the power of microcontrollers, environmental sensing, and machine learning all through Raspberry Pi.

This Hackathon is about demonstrating how simple it is to link metadata and data, and to clean up datasets so they’re fit for use with machine learning using modern methods, hence encouraging uptake and usage. This Hackathon introduces researchers to using simple microprocessors and environmental sensors through the Raspberry Pi, using it to monitor laboratory and experimental conditions. You will construct a simple remote sensor, use it to acquire large datasets and explore how to clean and structure it, tagging it with useful experimental metadata.
