The city
Trieste is a port city on the northeastern coast of Italy, on the Adriatic Sea. It has long been a crossroads of exchange between Central Europe and the Mediterranean, a position reflected in its mix of historic architecture, waterfront squares and lively cultural life.
For ISHC 2024, Trieste was the setting for six days of scientific exchange on homogeneous catalysis, bringing researchers and academics together at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Trieste.

Trieste sits on the northeastern coast of Italy where the Adriatic opens toward the Mediterranean, and its long history as a trading port has shaped a character defined by exchange between Central Europe and the wider Mediterranean basin. Historic architecture lines the waterfront squares, while a lively cultural life fills the spaces between them, making the city a fitting backdrop for an international gathering of scientists.
For ISHC 2024, this port setting became the frame for six days of scientific exchange on homogeneous catalysis, hosted at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Trieste. The choice of venue placed participants within an academic environment long associated with research in chemistry, while the surrounding city offered a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for conversation beyond the lecture halls.
Beyond the symposium programme, Trieste rewards those who linger. The waterfront promenades, historic cafés and surrounding Karst landscape provide the kind of setting in which informal discussion flourishes, an element the organisers of the XXIII International Symposium on Homogeneous Catalysis have long valued as central to the success of the series.
Good to know for anyone planning a visit: Trieste served as the host city of the XXIII International Symposium on Homogeneous Catalysis, with the scientific programme running from 21 to 26 July 2024. Participants travelled from academia and industry to share talks, posters and keynote contributions, following a tradition of bringing researchers together in a single format built around scientific discussion and exchange.
