About

Since 2005 the Schuit Institute of Catalysis and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics have been conducting a highly ambitious research program in the field of Novel catalytic materials for chemicals and renewable energy. The research is conducted in the framework of the Programme Strategic Scientific Alliances between China and the Netherlands funded by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Chinese Ministry Of Science and Technology. This program brings together scientists from the Chinese and Netherlands sides in a long-term effort to progress in catalytic science. Many novel and improved catalytic materials have already been identified with applications in a wide variety of chemical processes through the intensive joint efforts of this international research team.

Facts and Figures

PSA was set up at the request of OCW (1997-1999) and in consultation with the Chinese counterpart organisations: the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), the Chinese Ministry of Education (MOE), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).

The PSA’s project phase commenced in 2004 for a three-year period. Fifteen projects were selected at the start. Six of the selected fifteen projects will continue for another five-year period in the PSA’s programme phase. Finally, in the strategic alliance phase, two or three strategic alliances will once more continue for another five years.
