The Catalysis Hub was created with EPSRC funding with the aim to first establish a world-leading, comprehensive and coordinated programme of catalytic science in the UK; secondly to develop new knowledge and promote innovation in and translation of catalytic science and technology; and thirdly to enable the UK to regain and retain its world leading position in catalysis. The Hub was launched in April 2013 at its physical centre in the Research Complex at Harwell with a program of initial scientific projects starting from July 2013.
Catalysis Hub and PSDI
PSDI are working with researchers from the Catalysis Hub based at Cardiff University to explore workflows and methods for improving the reproducibility of scientific research. The objectives of this work are to:
- Develop an automated workflow system and suite of associated tools to support XAS data processing.
- Generate documentation on the process required to setup and develop the tools to contribute to the PSDI knowledgebase.
- Explore approaches to modify the application of this approach to other experiment / data types, with a view to acting as an advisory consulting service to implement these systems across the UK Catalysis community.
