ESCOBAR ALARCON, Luis et al. Investigación y desarrollo en catálisis en el Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares. Mundo nano [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.18, pp.198-215.  Epub Aug 21, 2020. ISSN 2448-5691.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485691e.2017.18.60111.

This manuscript shows the activities in the catalysis field performed in the National Institute of Nuclear Research (Spanish acronym: ININ), and briefly are included the goals and attributions that by legal mandate has the Institute. It includes research lines, contributions, and main achievements in this field obtained through the years. In addition, information about the infrastructure available in the Institute to perform the research on catalysis is presented. The importance of the national and international collaborations, as well as, the projects in this area, and human resources training are emphasized. Finally, we present the research and development prospects on catalysis in our Institution in the catalysis field.
