In view of the Ukrainian tragedy, it is difficult to write an editorial about a more profane topic. The pictures that still reach us from there and the people that have to leave their homeland perhaps for a long time remind us how fragile the shell of civilization is that surrounds us and how easily it is broken. This topical issue is dedicated to the entire field of catalysis. It aims at providing a common platform to the otherwise separate disciplines of homogeneous, enzyme, and heterogeneous catalysis and opens a window for a wholistic view onto the field of catalysis.
