The International Zeolite Association together with the Russian National Zeolite Association extend a cordial invitation to all colleagues in the field of zeolites and ordered porous materials to participate in the 17th International Zeolite Conference (17th IZC), which will be held from July 7 to July 12 2013 in Moscow, Russia. The Conference will cover all aspects of the science and technology associated with ordered porous materials – zeolites, zeotypes, mesostructured materials and porous hybrid solids (MOFs). The extremely high rate of the discovery of novel ordered porous nanomaterials, on the one hand, and the increasing demand in catalysts, adsorbents, membranes, sensors, etc. for new sustainable technologies, on the other hand, will set the concept of the conference: “Zeolites and ordered porous materials: bridging the gap between nanoscience and technology” The Conference will be preceded by an Intensive Summer School (July 5-6, 2013), which will be organized at the Educational Center of Moscow State University. A Post-Conference Field Trip is scheduled for July 13-15, 2013 in the beautiful area of Karelia very rich in minerals.
