The 44th Jahrestreffen Deutscher Katalytiker (Annual Meeting of Germany's Catalysis Community) was organized by the DECHE-MA at the Conference center in Weimar, Germany in March 2011 (16th-18th) together with the 4ih Jahrestreffen Reaktionstechnik (Annual Meeting of Reaction Engineering). The intention ofthis Joint Conference was to intensify the communication between the scientific communities of homogeneous/hetero-geneous catalysis and reaction engineering, which are mutually connected in many areas. The Conference attracted 680 participants from academia and industry with a broad range of interest in the fields of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis as well as reaction engineering. As a consequence of the large number of contributions, the oral and poster presentations were organized in two sessions focusing on catalysis and reaction engineering. The Joint Community presented 34 oral and seven plenary lectures in the fields of homogeneous/heterogeneous catalysis and reaction engineering. Moreover two presentations were hold by the awardees of the "Jochen Block Preis 2010" and "Hanns Hofmann Preis 2011" showing the recent research activities in the fields of chemical usage of biomass and in-situ methods for high temperature catalytic reactions. Further high-lights of the Conference were the two poster Workshops on "Transformation of Renewable Feedstocks" and "Electro- and Photocatalysis". A group of poster authors presented the summary of their work in order to stimulate an intensive discussion among the participants in these emerging fields of research and application.
