Objective
The Network will provide training in an area important both to industry and academia. The pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries will be recruiting vigorously over the next few years as the effects of the Human Genome project impinge on drug development. Young chemists with a training in catalysis along the lines indicated in the proposal will be highly employable. In the Discovery sector catalytic methods are increasing in importance. Process departments may use catalytic methods as a first option in future, because of the favorable considerations of atom economy and waste management. These will play an increasingly important role as environmental considerations come to the fore in the European Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries. Hence the scientists trained through this RTN collaboration will be very attractive candidates for employment, and will also have an excellent basis for an academic career. They will have had contact with some of the leading aspects of contemporary catalysis, in well-found laboratories. The projects will have given them a range of skills alongside synthesis, and experience in different research environments.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
