Invitation

JKSC had been held in every two years between the two countries. 20th Japan-Korea Symposium on Catalysis (20JKSC) will be held on the Yonago Convention Center “BIG SHIP” in Yonago, Japan from May 19 to 22, 2025; on May 19, start of the registration and a meeting will be pllaned, and the lectures and presentations are planned in May 20-22.

5 min by walk from JR Yonago Station North Exit,
25-30 min by train or bus from Yonago Airport

Direct flights to Yonago Airport (YGJ) from Incheon Airport (ICN) are available on Wed, Fri and Sun, and those to Okayama Airport (OKJ) from ICN are available on Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun. YGJ is also accessible from Haneda Airport everyday. You can arrive at “BIG SHIP” in 30 min. from YGJ by local train or in 2 h 50 min. from OKJ by shuttle bus and express train.





This place was the venue of ZMPC 2006 (International Symposium on Zeolites and Microporoous Crystals)
A keynote lecturer of ZMPC2006, Dr. Ulrich Müller, sent me (Katada) an interesting comment. At the ZMPC2006, I (Katada) was the symposium secretary, and we invited Dr. Müller, Prof. Omar Yaghi and Prof. Susumu Kitagawa as lecturers. They are founders of science of MOF/PCP. They met at the symosium, shared a table and discussed about the name of new compounds.

Programs

Program policy
Around 350 abstracts were submitted from Korea, Japan and some other countries. We will try to accommodate authors' choice (oral/poster) whenever possible.
Young Poster presenters will be given an opportunity for a 3-minute Short Oral (SO) presentation each. The poster session will be held just once at one venue immediately after the SO, and posters will be allowed to remain on display throughout the duration of the conference to have exciting discussion.
