SCOPE AND OBJECTIVESSCOPE AND OBJECTIVES————————————————————————————————————————————————Creation and Control of Advanced Selective CatalysisCreation and Control of Advanced Selective Catalysis The Catalysis Society of Japan organizes a pre-symposium of 14thInternational Congress on Catalysis (ICC 14) as the celebration of50th anniversary of the foundation of the Society during July 8-12,2008 (July 12 for optional sightseeing) in a Japanese memorial city,Kyoto. The perspectives and the current status of the pioneeringselective catalysis designed and manipulated at atomic/nano-levelswill be the emphasis of the symposium. Achievements of worldwideyoung scientists will be also highlighted. Three-days scientificprogram will comprise 3 plenary lectures, 30 invited lectures, 50 oralpresentations, and 200 posters on the following topics:

A. Fundamentals and theory for the selective catalysisB. In situ characterization of the selective catalysisC. New selective catalysis for green processesD. New catalytic materials for the selective catalysisE. Innovative processes by the selective catalysis
