2-2. Review of Submitted Abstracts

- Each abstract was sent to two reviewers for evaluation on January 18, 2008, requesting for a response by February 8, 2008. The review of all abstracts was completed on March 13, 2008. Four abstracts were discarded because they were submitted simply for testing the system. Table 2-2 shows the statistics of reviewers according to regions.

2-4. Industrial Session

- The 14th ICC organized a special "Industrial Session" in parallel with other scientific oral sessions on the second day of the Congress, July 15 (Tuesday), accommodating 15 oral presentations (20 minutes) and two 40-minute keynote lectures. The purpose of this session was to introduce new catalysts and catalytic processes developed by industry during the previous 4 years. This was a new attempt in the history of the ICC to emphasize the importance of industrial research in catalysis.

- Details of presentations in the industrial session are given in the Book of Abstracts.

(1) Venue: Convention Hall II

- Exhibition, Posters, Internet Café, Coffee Break

- Light beverage and snack were provided during poster sessions.

(2) Comments

a) Capacity of the hall was sufficiently large. Sites for coffee and snack service were temporarily crowded but the situation was rapidly improved. Tea was provided during coffee breaks from the second day.

b) Ample space was provided between poster boards by allowing a distance of 4 m between poster alleys. Each poster was given an individual extra light for improved visibility but a number of posters were not mounted, thus making the extra light useless.

c) Internet café was used by many participants. Additional internet jacks were provided for those whose carried their computers.
