SusCat 2019: Catalysing Your Potential!
Co-organised by the University of Lille (in the top 100 European most innovative universities of the Times Higher Education ranking) and the Lille Northern France Higher Education & Research Institutions Association (ComUE LNF), the France Excellence Summer School Suscat 2019 is a strong 120-hour training programme focusing on the fundamental and industrial aspects of catalytic science, in line with top-tier research centres and leading international chemical industry clusters.
Midway between Paris, London and Brussels, at the heart of a high-performance academic and economic hub that makes innovation a priority, Suscat 2019 will provide, on forward-looking and lively campuses, high-standard English-taught classes, scientific and industrial immersion in the field, as well as an introduction to research through a supervised project.

SusCat 2019 will build on the successful experience of the previous France Excellence session.
