Introduction to the Conference
Fighting climate change, most industrial technologies will not work without heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Understanding the catalytic processes, transferring and developing knowledge is essential. The qst Forum of Young Researchers on Heterogenous Catalysis 2024 (YOURHETCAT 2024) will be organized in Szeged, Hungary on November 14-16, 2024, hosted by the Hungarian Catalysis Society (HCS) with the help of The Secretariat of the Regional Committees of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences at Szeged (MTA SZAB) and the European Federation of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS).
Our main goal is to support and link talented young researchers working in the field of catalysis by organizing a high-quality international event for free of charge without any registration fees.
We are waiting for Graduated and Postgraduated Students, Postdocs as well as Senior Researchers of National and European Catalytic Societies and the Young European Catalysis Network (YEuCAT).
The pre-planned program including 4-6 plenary lectures, 30-50 student presentations, 30-80 posters for the poster session and an extraordinary “pitch” presentation by brave students, a tour of Szeged, coffee breaks, dinners and lunches. This year we are focusing also soft skills as applying and getting funds, scientific communication and connection with media and industry. We will make a tour to show our Energy Innovation Teststation includig a closed loop of renewable from solar energy harvesting through electrolysis to production of liquid e-fuels at the Greenovation Center of University of Szeged as well as the system of the ELI-ALPS Laser Infrastructure.
After our succes at the 1st YOURHETCAT 2022 meeting, we are expecting ~100 young researchers and more Senior Researchers from all over Europe and the World, trusting in the exchange of experience, knowledge transfer and the creation of new cooperation opportunities, building networks, which will lead to the strong connection of International catalysis research.
All the presented works can be published in a special issue of Reaction Kinetics, Mechanisms and Catalysis journal (IF = 2.081)

Travel
Szeged is 170 kms away from Budapest, the capital of Hungary
From Budapest Airport to the Ferihegy railway station in Budapest
The planes land at Terminal A or B; they are of walking distance from each other, and serviced by the same bus stop, and taxi ranks.
The closest train station to Budapest Airport is Ferihegy station, with trains operating to and from the Nyugati railway station in Budapest. From this station there are direct train connections to Szeged.
Please check for the timetable on the site https://www.mavcsoport.hu/en (departure is Ferihegy destination is Szeged). We recommend the IC trains which runs every hour.
From the airport you can easily reach Ferihegy railway station by public transport or taxi.
Public transport
Bus 200E takes you to the Ferihegy station (5th stop from Liszt Ferenc Airport 2 station, please get off at Ferihegy vasútállomás station).
Tickets can be bought in advance at the airport terminals, kiosks, vending machines (they are frequently out of order), and they are valid for all kinds of transportation. Buying them in tens or twenties is cheaper (they are called “gyűjtő”). Tickets can be bought on the vehicles (except on metro trains), but they are more expensive than buying them in advance.
From the Nyugati railway station to Szeged
Szeged is serviced by trains in every hour. The duration of the trip is 2 h 22 min. The trains are so-called mixed trains. The last two or three coaches are called intercity coaches and seat reservation is required beside the regular ticket (which must be bought in advance, e.g. at the ticket office of the station). For the other coaches there is no seat reservation, but an extra so-called fast-train ticket has to be bought together with the regular ticket (complicated is it not?). Nevertheless, the intercity coaches (thus seat reservation) is recommended.
It is possible to check the time table on the internet. Go to https://www.mavcsoport.hu/en, and choose information in English. We recommend the IC trains. There are some trains listed there beside the mentioned ones; do not take them, they are very slow, occasionally, the trip may last for more than 10 hours.
From Szeged railway station to the Institute of Chemisty (Dóm square & Rerrich Béla square), take tram 1 or 2 (or the so-called „tram train” heading to „Hódmezővásárhely”). Get off at „Aradi vértanúk tere”. Since our venue is quite close to the railway station, it is also easy to access the location by a short, 10-15 minutes walk via the avenue linking the station with the city center (called „Boldogasszony sugárút”). Tickets can be bought in advance (at the exit, downstairs) or on the tram (although it is more expensive there), in tens (gyűjtő) it is cheaper.
Getting to Szeged by car
From Budapest Airport The airport is serviced by many of the major car rental companies. Any kind of car can be ordered even on the internet. Starting from the airport, follow the Szeged and/or M5 sign. First, you get on M0 (the outer ring motorway). Keep following the Szeged and/or M5 sign, and after about 15-20 minutes you will be led to M5 (motorway 5), and choose Szeged as the direction. Depending on your speed (and traffic) it takes about one and half hour to get to Szeged. There are two exits to Szeged, both are good. For moving in the city and finding the hotel and the conference venue, you should check the map of Szeged, available on the internet. Note that Szeged is not a huge city, the street structure is a ring-avenue system. There are two rings and all avenues go to the city centre. For visual navigation, look for the twin towers of the cathedral, they are well seen almost from everywhere.
Arriving from the direction of Vienna (Austria) Use M1, then M0 near Budapest following the Szeged and/or M5 sign. Keep doing this, while you are on M0, and you will be led to M5 towards Szeged. From there, please, see above.
From the direction of Bratislava (Slovakia) Use M15(E75), then M1, and for the rest, please, see above.
From the direction Košice (Slovakia) Use M30(E71), then M3 towards Budapest, then M31, then M0, and for the rest, please, see above.
From the direction of Ukraine Use M3 towards Budapest, and for the rest, please, see above.
From the direction of Oradea (Romania) Use 42(E60) until you arrive at Berettyóújfalu, then take route 47 towards Szeged.
From the direction of Arad (Romania) Use M43, and enter the city at any exits. For the street-structure of Szeged, please, see above.
From the direction of Novi Sad (Serbia) Use M5, and exit at Szeged. For more details concerning exits and the street structure of Szeged, please, see above.
From the direction of Zagreb (Croatia) Use M7 towards Budapest, then M0 following the sign of Szeged and/or M5. For the rest, please, see above.
From the direction of Slovenia Use M70 towards Nagykanizsa/Budapest, then M7 towards Budapest. For the rest, please, see above.
From the direction of Graz (Austria) Use route 8 (E66) towards Budapest, then take M0 following the sign of Szeged or M5. For the rest, please, see above.
Attention! The motorways are tollways. Electronic tickets must be bought. This should be done at the closest gas station to the border or online. There are several varieties, they can be valid for a week, a month, etc., of course, the prices vary with the length of validity.
