STSM title: Theory and Experiments Working Together to Accelerate Catalyst Design
Dates: 2–9 July 2026
Bringing theory and experiments together to accelerate catalyst design!
As part of the EU-CONCERT COST Action (CA24103), Dr. Béla Fiser undertook a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) from 2 to 9 July 2026 at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia.
During his research visit, Béla had the opportunity to work with Associate Professor Jana Pisk and her research group, promoting scientific exchange and strengthening the links between computational and experimental research.
The visit provided an excellent opportunity to exchange expertise and explore how theoretical modelling and experimental approaches can complement each other in the design and development of advanced catalysts. Combining these two perspectives is key to accelerating catalyst discovery and advancing sustainable energy conversion technologies.
Beyond the scientific activities, the mission further strengthened the ongoing collaboration between the participating research groups and opened new perspectives for joint research directions, collaborative funding proposals, and continued knowledge exchange.
Dr. Béla Fiser warmly thanks Jana Pisk, Josipa Sarjanović, Luka Pavić, Ivica Đilović, and all colleagues at the University of Zagreb for their hospitality, support, and fruitful scientific discussions.
EU-CONCERT is pleased to support international research mobility and foster scientific collaborations through its STSM programme.
