down by the isolation, the setbacks and the uncertainty. If you want to stay well, don’t leave it
to chance. You need to look after yourself.
In this interactive webinar we’ll discuss:
Dealing with isolation
Staying motivated
Structure and routines
Keeping focussed
Dealing with distractions
How to switch off
Actions you can take

EC2/BIG-NSE online introductory lecture
Titel: Online presentation of CIF (Chemical Invention Factory)

Participants: All UniSysCat members
Virtual meeting room: https://tubmeeting.tu-berlin.de/meet/jean-philippe.lonjaret
Attention: The access to the virtual meeting room will be restricted to UniSysCat members having contact me in advance. Best regards, J.P. Lonjaret (jean-philippe.lonjaret@tu-berlin.de)
-----------------
EC2/BIG-NSE is happy to welcome Martin Rahmel on Thursday, November 26, 2020, from 1 pm on.
During his online presentation, he will highlight a much overlooked career pathway, at least in the chemical domain, the foundation of a startup!
Martin knows what he will talk about by experience. In 2013, he co-founded a "spin-out" of the former Cluster of Excellence “UniCat”, the company DexLeChem GmbH. Having been first responsible for "Business Development and Finances", he then became Managing Director in 2018, the same year where the company made its first profit.
Since September 2020 Martin has been back at the TU Berlin as Director of the Chemical Invention Factory (CIF). TU Berlin is currently investing over 11 million Euro to build the CIF on the Campus Charlottenburg, an incubator for startups and technology transfer in the field of Green Chemistry: the first of its kind! Relying on his own broad experience in the field, and motivated by his conviction that more academic results should be used in real applications, Martin relentlessly works on achieving the mission of the CIF: unfold the impact of chemical research results on sustainability!
Please feel free to join this event!

Wednesday Nov. 17, 2021 - Presentation of CIF (Chemical Invention Factory)

EC2/BIG-NSE online introductory lecture
Titel: Online presentation of CIF (Chemical Invention Factory)
Lecturer: Martin Rahmel, Managing Director CIF
Participants: All UniSysCat members
Virtual meeting room: Link will be communicated
Attention: The access to the virtual meeting room will be restricted to UniSysCat members having contact me in advance. Best regards, J.P. Lonjaret (jean-philippe.lonjaret@tu-berlin.de)
-----------------
EC2/BIG-NSE is happy to welcome Martin Rahmel on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, from 1 pm on.
During his online presentation, he will highlight a much overlooked career pathway, at least in the chemical domain, the foundation of a startup!
Martin knows what he will talk about by experience. In 2013, he co-founded a "spin-out" of the former Cluster of Excellence “UniCat”, the company DexLeChem GmbH. Having been first responsible for "Business Development and Finances", he then became Managing Director in 2018, the same year where the company made its first profit.
Since September 2020 Martin has been back at the TU Berlin as Director of the Chemical Invention Factory (CIF). TU Berlin is currently investing over 11 million Euro to build the CIF on the Campus Charlottenburg, an incubator for startups and technology transfer in the field of Green Chemistry: the first of its kind! Relying on his own broad experience in the field, and motivated by his conviction that more academic results should be used in real applications, Martin relentlessly works on achieving the mission of the CIF: unfold the impact of chemical research results on sustainability!
Please feel free to join this event!

Thursday Oct. 06, 2022 - Presentation of CIF (Chemical Invention Factory)

EC2/BIG-NSE online introductory lecture
Titel: Online presentation of CIF (Chemical Invention Factory)
Lecturer: Martin Rahmel, Managing Director CIF
Participants: All UniSysCat members
Virtual meeting room: Link will be communicated
Attention: The access to the virtual meeting room will be restricted to UniSysCat members having contact me in advance. Best regards, J.P. Lonjaret (jean-philippe.lonjaret@tu-berlin.de)
-----------------
EC2/BIG-NSE is happy to welcome Martin Rahmel on Thursday, October 06, 2022, from 1 to 2 pm on.
During his online presentation, he will highlight a much overlooked career pathway, at least in the chemical domain, the foundation of a startup!
Martin knows what he will talk about by experience. In 2013, he co-founded a "spin-out" of the former Cluster of Excellence “UniCat”, the company DexLeChem GmbH. Having been first responsible for "Business Development and Finances", he then became Managing Director in 2018, the same year where the company made its first profit.
Since September 2020 Martin has been back at the TU Berlin as Director of the Chemical Invention Factory (CIF). TU Berlin is currently investing over 11 million Euro to build the CIF on the Campus Charlottenburg, an incubator for startups and technology transfer in the field of Green Chemistry: the first of its kind! Relying on his own broad experience in the field, and motivated by his conviction that more academic results should be used in real applications, Martin relentlessly works on achieving the mission of the CIF: unfold the impact of chemical research results on sustainability!
Please feel free to join this event!
