UPGro Catalyst Synthesis – updated!

Posted on 23/06/2016 by RWSN Secretariat

The Catalyst phase of UPGro involved 15 projects and last we published a quick overview of what they did and what they discovered and achieved. Since then, more papers have been published and presented, so we have revised and updated the synthesis:

  • UPGro Catalyst Synthesis – June 2016
