Abstract
(Text in French)When the world community of catalysis meets in Lyon: the 18th International Congress on Catalysis. The 18th International Congress on Catalysis (ICC) was held in Lyon from July 14 to 19, 2024. Organized by several successive executive boards of the Catalysis Division of the French Society of Chemistry, the conference was a great success, gathering more than 2250 participants. It contributed to unifying the global catalysis community towards common goals. The rich and high-quality scientific program, along with a dynamic exhibition and friendly social events, made this event a particularly appreciated edition, and we hope, a memorable one. This report outlines the major steps in the organization that led to this success, to inspire future achievements of this magnitude. Initiatives implemented on this occasion, such as a call for short symposia, the establishment of a Committee of Young Researchers, an Ethics Committee, impacting both the scientific and extra-scientific program, are also highlighted.
