SwissCAT+
A data-driven infrastructure
for catalysts discovery and optimization
Our Mission
Our goal is to establish a world-leading technology platform combining cutting-edge high-throughput and automated experimentation equipment with advanced data analysis supported by artificial intelligence.
SwissCAT+ aims to be an open-access facility for the Swiss scientific community devoted to developing sustainable catalytic processes.
Inception
Initiated by Prof. Dr. Christophe Copéret (ETHZ) and Prof. Dr. Nicolai Cramer (EPFL), SwissCAT+ (CAT+) is a project funded by ETH Domain, divided into two Hubs:
The West Hub (CAT+ West), focusing on homogeneous catalysis, at the EPFL.
The East Hub (CAT+ East), focusing on heterogeneous catalysis, at the ETHZ.
CAT+ West Hub
Located within the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) premises, CAT+ West focuses on homogeneous catalysis.
CAT+ East Hub
CAT+ East, located at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ), focuses on heterogeneous catalysts R&D.
