Dear Tamas,
Thanks for communicating this - I worry about feasibility to attract many people. My
strong suggestion is to postpone one or perhaps two years.
Best,
Emiel

Dear Member of the Scientific Committee,
First of all, thank you very much for accepting the invitation to be members of the
Scientific Committee of the next MACS conference! It is a great honor!
As you can see, we have created the macs_scicom(a)lists.ek.hun-ren.hu e-mail address for the
scientific committee to facilitate communication.
I would like to ask the committee members for help on some things, which you can read
below, but first I would like to ask the scientific committee for their opinion on another
issue. Laetitia has just informed me that the French Catalysis Conference will also be
organized exactly on the same date as MACS 2026. I can't imagine MACS without French
colleagues. Do you think we should reschedule?
Some of you have indicated that there is not enough time to organize the conference until
May. If we reschedule the conference, should we postpone it by 1-2 weeks or a year? I am
open to accepting any decision of the board!
And here are some of the things I would like to ask the scientific committee for help
with. Whatever the decision on the previous question, your answers will definitely be
useful in the following topics.
1. Please suggest a plenary speaker. So far, we have received two
recommendations.
2. We would be grateful if you could write a single sentence
explaining why you consider the MACS conferences valuable, or share a brief comment on
your previous experiences. We plan to feature these on our website.
3. If possible, please provide a photo of yourself so that it can
appear alongside your comment on the website.
4. The website is now live! The registration page is still under
development but will be ready soon. We kindly ask you to help promote the conference
within your catalysis communities. The website can be found here:
https://macs2026.ek.hun-ren.hu/
Please take a moment to review the site and let us know if you notice any mistake.
5. If you have suggestions for potential sponsors we should contact,
we would be grateful to hear them.
Thank you very much for your support!
Best regards,
Tamás Ollár
Organizer of MACS 2026 or 2027
