Introduction

The UK XFEL project has advanced to a second phase: Conceptual Design and Options Analysis (https://www.xfel.ac.uk). Along with this activity, which completes in October 2025, we will be developing an updated “Science and Technology Case”. As part of that process, a series of Townhall meetings and Workshops is being held around the UK, themed on different aspects of the Science and Technology that an advanced XFEL is anticipated to impact.

In view of the considerable potential for novel catalytic science offered by advanced XFEL, one of these events will be a workshop on “The Impact of XFELs on Catalysis”, which is being organised and hosted in conjunction with the UK Catalysis Hub.

Speakers include: Andy Beale (UCL) Serena DeBeer (Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion) Sofia Diaz-Moreno (Diamond Light Source) Paul Donaldson (Central Laser Facility) Kelly Gaffney (Stanford) Jason Lynam (York) Chris Milne (European XFEL) Tom Penfold (Newcastle) David Thompsett (Johnson Matthey) Philipe Wernet (Uppsala)
