This conference proved to be an important event, with many stimulating talks on the applications for catalyst technology in pollution control, chemical processing and fuel cells. A significant new profile emerged for gold catalysis with a realization of its potential for new applications, many of which may take advantage of its unique low temperature performance characteristics. There were 14 oral and 7 poster presentations where the principal theme was catalysis by gold (including one from WGC which was well received and stimulated much discussion); and there is an increasing realization that gold is an exciting new topic. In addition the current issue of the journal CATTECH containing an article by Graham Hutchings and Mike Scurrell on ‘Designing Oxidation Catalysts’ contains a significant case study on gold catalysis, and this was distributed to all 600 delegates.
